Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe say it's a major step forward for the road which will enhance links between Cork and Limerick.
Planning and design for the project will begin this month, with an extensive consultation process also to take place.
Limerick and Cork Chambers have welcomed the move by have called for the project to be prioritised in the national development plan.
Dee Ryan, CEO of Limerick Chamber says "The delivery of the M20 needs to be expediated as no other infrastructure project in the country can contribute so positively for so many."
