The proposed N52 Cavestown to Kilrush project is situated north of Mullingar between the towns of Delvin and Clonmellon. The project entails the upgrade of approximately 3km of a sub-standard section of the N52 transportation corridor.

This proposed project is in line with Project Ireland 2040 National Strategic Objective 2 (NSO 2) to “enhance and upgrade accessibility between urban centres of population and their regions” by “linking our regions and urban areas not just with Dublin but to each other”. 

N52 Cavestown to Kilrush Study Area

Funding was first allocated to the project in 2022. An aerial topographical survey was completed which allowed the design team to prepare and gather the necessary early information for the planning and design process. Consultants, WS Atkins, were procured in October 2024 to progress the project through the designated project phases. The Project is currently at Phase 1 Concept and Feasibility Stage and it is anticipated to progress to Phase 2 Options Selection in 2025.
