===Road===
Castlebar is served by the [[N5 road (Ireland)|N5]] [[national primary road]] and the [[N60 road (Ireland)|N60]] and [[N84 road (Ireland)|N84]] [[national secondary road]]s. In 1990 a relief road was built around Castlebar, removing through traffic on the N5 from the main street. This road is a basic two-lane road. It suffers from chronic congestion, particularly in the summer months when thousands of tourists have to negotiate the bottleneck en route to neighbouring [[Westport, County Mayo|Westport]] and [[Achill Island]]. A bypass of Castlebar of dual-carriageway standard was approved by An Bórd Pleanala in July 2014,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mayonews.ie/news/20239-bord-pleanala-gives-green-light-to-new-n5 |title=Bord Pleanála gives 'green light' to new N5 |publisher=Mayonews.ie |date=2014-07-08 |access-date=2019-11-10 |archive-date=23 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160423211833/http://www.mayonews.ie/news/20239-bord-pleanala-gives-green-light-to-new-n5 |url-status=live }}</ref> and construction began in late 2019.
