    At last it seems to be happening....From KK county council;

    RE: N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford N9 Road Improvement Scheme
    (1)
    'Phase 1, which is essentially the Carlow bypass section and is 17k long
    will start this month, phase 2 from Waterford to Knocktopher is out to
    tender for the main contract and is expected to start in the Autumn
    while phases 3 and 4 are expected to start in 2008 with a 2010
    completion of construction. Phase 3 is from Kilcullen to
    Prumplestown(just south of Castledermot) and phase 4 is from Knocktopher
    to Powerstown(near the landfill south of Carlow)'

    (2)
    Due to the size of the route , for construction purposes, the route from
    Kilcullen to Waterford is divided into 4 Phases;

    I (Carlow by-pass) - Powerstown to Prumplestown, near Castledermot is
    scheduled to commence in the next couple of months.

    2 ; Waterford to Knocktopher is scheduled to commence in September
    /October 2006.

    3 Prumplestown to Kilcullen and 4 Knocktopher to Powerstown are
    scheduled to commence in late 2007 or early 2008 at latest.

    Waterford By-pass Road Scheme (involving new bridge) is also scheduled
    to commence in the next couple of months. Entire route - all phases - is
    scheduled to be completed by 2010. Phases 1 and 3 are being managed by
    Kildare County Council; phases 2 and 4 are being managed by Kilkenny
    County Council.

    Please also refer to the National Roads Authority website wwww.nra.ie
