    Loughrea yet, called the "Old Road". They were much like the roads to the bog. The people used to put stones on the roads as they had no steamroller long ago. It was with spades and shovels they did their work. There are many roads leading to other cities and towns from Loughrea such as Athenry Road, Galway Road, Woodlawn road, Ballinasloe road, Woodford road and the Gort road all of which are kept in good repair by the County-Council and are cleaned about once a week.
