The surfacing and signage works have been completed at long last at Martin Junction in Galway City, after access across the junction was restricted over the past two nights to facilitate the final works.
The mini roundabout reopened at 6am and the traffic signals are to be switched on this morning after months of delays and diversions which been the cause of much frustration to road users.
The initial works on the conversion of the roundabout to a signalised junction began in January 2022, and the construction was expected to take just six months to complete.
But that date was pushed back to late November 2022, and the project’s completion date was delayed until the middle of 2023.
Significant traffic management was in place at the junction near Galway Clinic over the past 17 months, which was performed in phases.
