The Contracting Authority intends to seek tenders to complete the remaining sections of the Foynes to Limerick Road (including Adare Bypass) (the Project). The Project is being procured under multiple contracts with the Adare Bypass and the Adare to Attyflin sections currently under construction.

It is planned that a tender to construct the remaining section of the Project between the Rathkeale Junction and Foynes will be advertised in the second half of 2027. The completion of this section will mark the completion of all road infrastructure associated with the Project.
