Part of the latest tranche of new motorway services, a new service area was planned at the new M6/M18 roundabout interchange called Athenry. The services have encountered a number of planning issues and a new investigation is currently deciding between three different possible locations.
A public consultation was held in June 2017 with a view to having a service area here open in 2019.
By Irish standards, it will be a large service area that caters for both sides of the M6 and the new M18, but it is still expected to serve less than 40,000 vehicles a day. Objections include concerns about an impact on Supermac's Galway Plaza, which was privately developed to circumvent the political bureaucracy that has delayed Athenry.
