Sisk Sorensen Joint Venture and Limerick City and County Council is pleased to announce the signing of the Adare Bypass Design and Construction Contract.
The contract was awarded to the Sisk Sorensen Joint Venture, comprising John Sisk & Son (Holdings) Ltd and Sorensen Civil Engineering Ltd, and is funded by the Government of Ireland through the Department of Transport.
The Irish Government is investing approximately €150m to deliver the bypass.
The contract was signed at a reception held at the Council’s Corporate Headquarters, Merchants Quay, hosted by Mayor of Limerick, John Moran, in the presence of Minister for Transport, Darragh O’Brien TD.
The project is scheduled for completion by June 2027, ahead of the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor. The Government approved the advancement of the bypass construction in November 2023 to facilitate early delivery. Enabling works, including hedge clearance, fencing, archaeological resolution, railway bridge construction, haul road construction, and utility diversions, are currently underway.
Adare experiences significant traffic delays daily. The bypass will remove congestion on the N21 and divert any unnecessary through traffic, including HGV’s away from the village improving the safety of all road users and the quality of life of people living, working and visiting this popular heritage village.
Noel Curtis, Project Director at Sisk and John Wallace, Managing Director of Sorensen Civil Engineering Ltd, issued a joint statement on behalf of Sisk Sorensen, the Joint Venture partnership: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to deliver this vital piece of infrastructure and we are working hard on the delivery, conscious of the Ryder Cup in Adare Manor in 2027. We are off to a good start and value the collaboration and partnership approach from all the stakeholders involved locally and nationally.”
