    May have to travel to Enniskillen next weekend. With this bypass is it easier to get there via the M3/N3 as I was considering doing the M1/N33/N2 alternative?

    Google Maps tells me that the N3 option is quicker but I sometimes doubt it's timing suggestions.

    Where are you coming from Jayuu?

    D'oh. Should have made that clear! From Coolock in Dublin which is why I was thinking about just jumping on the the M1 and going that way.

    I just noticed that google now have the by-pass on the maps now. Your better of heading by M3/N3 in my opinion as its straighter and better roads for a good majority of the time. Its also a small bit shorter/20 mins.

    Thanks! Always nice to see a new bit of road as well as I've never been north of Cavan on this route.

    before the Belturbet by pass or motorway was open I made it from Enniskillen to the Halfway house (at the Phoenix Park) on the bus in 2hours dead, so the quoted 2 hours for Belturbet by pass and M3 is more than realistic even with a little traffic on the N3 part south of Cavan.

    Cavan CoCo looking to provide "Ghost Islands Right Turn Lanes" at three junctions;

    The biggest danger is the Butlersbridge junction even with it's right turn lane.

    Lethal in a truck, that junction. Ideally, it should be grade separated, like the N17 at Claremorris.

    Grade separating the village junction isn't realistic. My solution would be the close that junction and build a new one at the L1511 with 900m new road (which becomes the N54) linking over to the N54 north of the S bend. That would also be a huge boost to the 'Bridge, taking a lot of traffic away from there. It may be possible to do a bridge between the Derrygarra turn off and the Drumgola turn off on the other side, and create a LILO there.

    Right enough, I had forgotten that the N54 still begins in and travels through Butlersbridge, and that that wouldn't solve THAT issue.

    I agree, that seems like a very sensible plan, although I doubt very much that that would be anywhere in TII's list for the next 20 years or so.
