The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads in their areas is a matter for local authorities to be funded from their own resources supplemented by State grants.

Grants to local authorities in 2008 for regional and local roads were allocated on 15 February. Mayo County Council's overall allocation of €30,092,304 includes an allocation of €200,000 for design work on the R312 Castlebar to Belmullet Road.
