N26 road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The N26 road is a National Primary Route in the Ireland linking Ballina and Foxford to the N5 Dublin–Westport road. This route was previously a National Secondary Route as the N57 (leaving the N57 as a defunct route allocation).
The route diverges from the N5 near Swinford and passes through that town. It runs northwest to Foxford where the road meets the N58 (which runs south back to the N5). From here the route turns north to Ballina. At Ballina the road meets the N59 which runs east-west through the town.
The N26 is the first "extra" allocation of a national primary route other than the original 25. There are now primary routes up to N33. The physical upgrading, or modernisation, of the road has been in the planning stages for over 10 years. So far, only a small section leaving Ballina, and not even reaching Foxford, was completed by 2007.
