    That's being fairly optimistic! Over 2 years before its expected completion!

    This is a press realse that was issued on the day of the Sod Turning on 24th April 2006 http://www.ntr.ie/dynamic/pdf/CRG-Signs-N25-Waterford-Bypass-Construction0-and-Toll-Collection-PPP-Contract.pdf

    CRG SIGNS N25 WATERFORD BYPASS CONSTRUCTION AND TOLL
    COLLECTION PPP CONTRACT
    SOD TURNING OF NEW BYPASS BY MINISTER CULLEN
    Celtic Roads Group (CRG) is pleased to announce today (Monday, 24th April
    2006) the signing of the contract with the National Roads Authority (NRA) for the
    design, finance, construction, operation and maintenance of the new Waterford
    Bypass PPP Project.
    A sod-turning ceremony for the new Waterford city Bypass was officiated over by
    the Minister for Transport, Mr. Martin Cullen, TD at Carriganore, Waterford this
    morning.
    The Bypass will involve the construction of a 23km mainline dual-carriageway,
    14km of single-carriageway link roads and a landmark 475 metre-span bridge
    crossing the River Suir.
    The operation of the Bypass will include toll collection, which will offer a full range
    of payment methods including electronic tolling. The contract will also include
    the maintenance of the roadway structures.
    Commenting on the announcement, Mr Kyran Hurley, Managing Director of
    National Toll Roads and Director of CRG said: “We are very pleased with today’s
    signing of the contract with the NRA. The Waterford region will greatly benefit
    from this PPP project, while commuters to and from the south east will
    experience reduced journey times.”
    Construction on the €300 million contract will commence immediately and will
    take approximately three and a half years. The Waterford Bypass is planned to
    open in 2009.    Ends

    ==================================================

    You have to remember the extra time the the NRA adss onto the expected completion date so that they can say the the project finished well ahead of schedule, hence Q4 2010 on their website http://www.nra.ie/RoadSchemeActivity/WaterfordCityCouncil/N25WaterfordCityBypass/SchemeName,15022,en.html

    has anyone seen the Transport 21 sign for the waterford bypass out at the Butlerstown Roundabout on the Cork Road. The sign on the B&Q side it has down for a 2009 opening, whereas on the Whitfield clinic side the same sign says 2010

    One hand of Govt doesn't know what the otehr is doing (But why am I not surprised)
