rdf:langString The N60 road is a national secondary road in Ireland, linking Roscommon town to Castlebar, County Mayo. The main towns along the route are Roscommon, Ballymoe, Castlerea, Ballyhaunis, Claremorris, Balla, and Castlebar. The quality of the road varies significantly, with County Roscommon having a better alignment. The worst section of the route is between Castlebar and Claremorris, where some stretches are dangerously narrow. This section of the route is also the busiest, with up to 7,000 vehicles daily. The N60 in County Mayo has seen minor realignment works carried out since the 1970s. The largest project to date is the Claremorris relief road, which was constructed in two stages between 1988 and 2000. This relief road removes the majority of the 7,000 vehicles daily from Claremorris town centre, in particular Mount Street—which was once notorious for tailbacks, as traffic previously gave way to the busy N17 that passed through the town prior to the opening of the N17 bypass in 2001. A new route between Castlebar and Claremorris has been in planning for many years; it will bypass the village of Balla when constructed.
