There's also funding set aside for a relief route in Westmeath that runs from the east side of Athlone from the M6 to the N55 road, and aims to provide relief to congested roads in the town centre.
Longford-Westmeath TD Kevin 'Boxer' Moran says the estimated cost of the project varies between 48 and 50 million euro.
