• Description:
• The proposed improvement works on the R498 in Thurles will commence at the Technology University of the Shannon Roundabout and extend to the Bohernanave Junction. The 1.5-meter wide raised cycle tracks will be constructed between the R498 carriageway and the existing footpaths on both sides of the R498.

This area will allow buses and cars to enter adjacent to the existing Coláiste Mhuire entrance, drive one-way through the area, and exit onto the existing Coláiste Mhuire exit. Parking will be provided for school buses on the south side of the set-down area and for cars along the north side. The area in front of the Teagasc entrance will be separated from the Coláiste Mhuire entrance with a footpath and planted area, with car parking spaces for five vehicles provided immediately north of the entrance. New uncontrolled pedestrian crossing facilities will be provided on Bohernanave, at the exit f...
