Winner announced for Adare Bypass contract
Limerick City and County Council have announced the Successful Tenderer for the construction of the Adare Bypass.
Limerick City and County Council today announces the news that a joint venture of John Sisk & Son (Holdings) Ltd and Sorensen Civil Engineering Ltd, known as Sisk Sorensen JV, has been identified as the Successful Tenderer for the construction of the Adare Bypass. Subject to the necessary approvals, it is programmed to have the contract awarded by the end of 2024.
In November 2023, the Government announced its approval to advance the construction of the Adare Bypass to facilitate the earliest possible delivery of the bypass in view of the Ryder Cup in Adare Manor in 2027.
Speaking at today’s announcement, Mayor of Limerick John Moran welcomed the significant progress to date and stated that
“Todays’ announcement is significant. It is a priority of the Mayoral Programme to advance the Adare Bypass. To have it in place by the Autumn of 2027 remains very ambitious and would represent a significant achievement given the time remaining. Many risks to a successful outcome are outside the control of the Council. Limerick City and County Council will do everything it can to achieve this ambitious target but requires the goodwill and active cooperation of all agencies/stakeholders involved and/or affected by the project”.
Limerick City and County Council will continue to work closely with Transport Infrastructure Ireland to deliver the bypass as expeditiously as possible.
The bypass is one element of the Foynes to Limerick Road project which is a 35km road connecting Limerick City to the port of Foynes. The overall project is seen as vital for the strategic development and expansion of Shannon Foynes Port, for West Limerick and the Mid-West Region in general.
The Council is continuing to progress the remaining elements of the overall project and expects to make further announcements around this in the coming months and years.
