The motorway of 100 bridges

IT could be called the 100-bridge motorway. As work on four flyover bridges linking Weir Road and Ballygaddy Road in Tuam gets closer to completion, the breakneck pace at which this elevated Tuam Bypass section of the motorway has risen in front of the eyes of regular commuters has amazed many.
But a senior official with the Direct Route Consortium says these are only four of over 100 bridges being erected along the M17-M18 Tuam-Gort Motorway and Tuam By-pass.
