Project Description 

The proposed project will consider the upgrade of the existing N17 from Knock in County Mayo to Collooney in County Sligo.    

Identified as one of the ten strategic outcomes of Project Ireland 2040, the development of this scheme has the potential to act as a key enabler for the regional growth objectives of the National Planning Framework (NPF). Some of the key objectives include improving regional accessibility, transport journey times and safety along the route. 

Current Project Phase 

The project is currently at Phase 2 (Options Selection) of the TII Project Management Guidelines. The Physical Constraints Study Area has been identified and presented to the public in October 2019. It is expected that a Preferred Option (or route corridor) should emerge in Quarter 3 of 2021.
