History
During heavy flooding in late November 2009, closing Galway off from the rest of the country, one carriageway of the nearly finished motorway was temporarily opened between the junction 19 (N18) and the junction 16 (north of Loughrea). One carriageway of the Ballinasloe bypass also opened before full opening as motorway on the 13th of December 2009.
