Project Description
Mayo County Council in association with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) are progressing the development of the N26 Ballina Bypass Phase 1 scheme, which will provide a link, south west of Ballina town centre, between the N26 Foxford /Dublin Road and the N59 Crossmolina Road.
Current Project Phase
The project is currently at its final stages in Phase 2 - Options Selection of the TII Project Management Guidelines. Roughan O’Donovan - Aecom Alliance (ROD-A) have been appointed by Mayo County Council to assist in the progression of the scheme through Phase 2 to 4.
Phase 2 involves the identification of the Study Area and Constraints, Assessment of Various Alternatives/Options and determining the Preferred Option.
Six options were initially developed and subsequently shortlisted to four options
Following Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) of the four options examined under six criteria headings (Economy, Safety, Environment, Accessibility & Social Inclusion, Integration and Physical Activity) the preferred route corridor has emerged.
