R336 road (Ireland)

The R336 road is a regional road in County Galway in Ireland which connects the N59 road at Leenaun beside Killary Harbour – via Indreabhán – to the N6 and N83 in Galway, to the southeast.
On leaving the fjord in Killary Harbour at Leenaun, the road travels south between the Maumturk and Partry mountain ranges in Joyce Country and passes through the Irish speaking Gaeltacht district of Connemara, and the villages and towns of Maum, Maam Cross, Screeb, Kinvara, and Costelloe, and the R372 road. The R336 then turns east and travels along the shore of Galway Bay, passing through Indreabhán, Spiddal, Furbo, Barna, Salthill, and Galway, where it joins the N6 and N83 roads.
The government legislation that defines the R336, the Roads Act 1993 Order 2012 , provides the following official description:

Proposed improvement

A 2014 County Development Plan has again identified the need for an R336 upgrade, specifically between Barna and Screeb, a distance of. The plan considers the road a "a major obstacle to developing the South Connemara region and economy". The plan calls for a major realignment of the road, replacing most of the present route.
