The three-pronged project includes a western bypass around the town of Killaloe and a new bridge crossing the River Shannon roughly one kilometre south of the existing Killaloe Bridge.
Widening, regarding and local realignment works have also been carried out on the R494 between its junction with the R496 and the new Brian Boru Bridge, and its junction with the R445.
