These improvements will significantly boost sustainable travel options in Galway, especially for students and staff at Atlantic Technological University (ATU), local residents, businesses, and community services. By prioritising accessibility and safety, this project supports healthier lifestyles, reduces traffic congestion, and encourages environmentally friendly travel choices.

As principal contractor, Coffey is working closely with AtkinsRรฉalis, the consultant engineers, to bring this vision to life.
