Atlantic Corridor

The Atlantic corridor^[1] or Atlantic motorway^[2] is a proposed road project in Ireland. The scheme, announced in 2005, was intended to link Waterford in the South-East to Letterkenny in the North-West via motorway or dual carriageway by 2015.^[3] However, in part due to the post-2008 Irish economic downturn, major sections of the roadway were delayed or cancelled.

The Atlantic Corridor, when combined with the inter-urban motorways linking Dublin and the other cities, is intended to ring the island of Ireland and to connect primary population centres.^{[citation needed]}
