That's a bit extreme!

I go this way....

Turn off at Scarawalsh Roundabout onto the N80 and take the first left, follow the signs for Monart Spa and take a left at the entrance to it then swing right just on the turn at Doyles Pub (The Still) and in 500 yards you are on the N30 after bypassing Enniscorthy altogether.

For anyone heading to Wexford,take the left turn before Scarawalsh Bridge and follow the road on and keep right following the river and you'll end up in Templeshannon,you might get held up there for 2 or 3 minutes compared to the 45-60 minutes on the N11.

When you get to the 'German roundabout' (Lidl/Aldi), take the 1st exit. Follow your nose for 2-3km and it takes you, via a slightly more direct route, to the Still.

As well as being a shorter route, you miss traffic at the Vocational School and the right turn at The Still.

Might not be too bad heading down but I prefer to avoid the town altogether on the way back up from Wexford, especially so as not to go near this absolute free-for-all.

That free for all as you call it could be very easily solved if everyone only had to give way to the right. Traffic coming down from spring valley having to stop and give way to traffic approaching from the left is ridiculous.

I meant the road from Scarawalsh to the end of Milehouse,through Coolnahorna-you avoid the town altogether,especially the free for all outside St.Aidans school.Plus you get a birds eye view of the new site compound,that's where I took the photo I posted of it from.

That bridge is going,new one to be built just past the Riverside Hotel.Part of the new flood defence plan.

From The People

County Manager Tom Enright said he received approval from Transport Infrastructure Ireland that the project could proceed beyond Oylegate.
..

Mr Enright said a 200 metre wide corridor will be built east of Oylegate, adding that it is unlikely to be completed until after the bypass is finished.
‘We have to CPO the lands and go to tender for the contractor..."

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one zerks. I think Enniscorthy will see many a flood before anythings done.

I wonder will that be motorway also. Makes sense to keep it the same standard (future-proofing etc..), and did it mention how long that additional section would be?:D

I think the original Oilgate-Rosslare plan was 2+2 dual carriageway. Traffic levels aren't that high beyond Enniscorthy.

But if you are putting in 2+2 as per a previous design, why not continue the motorway standard? The E-01 i think has to eventually be motorway anyway?

I stand open to correction on this but I suspect traffic levels are higher past Oilgate than they are/will be on sections of several motorways...M18/M17 maybe?

L1011

13042 AADT in 2015 which was a ~5% growth on 2014, 2016 guessed figures are worthless this far in to the year.

Sections of the M9 are just over 10k.

The design wasn't finalised before the project was suspended. It could be all motorway, or for example motorway as far as the first Wexford exit and then 2+2.

The UN impose no obligation on any state to ban bikes and tractors....

There's 3/4 non motorway sections on the route, which have been upgraded to not-motorway status
N11 Newtownmountkennedy to Bray
N1 Dundalk to Armagh & A1 Louth to Lisburn
A12 Westlink

The route corridor was finalised though right?

300 meter corridor, but not beyond that.

Project website is launched, I'm not sure if anyone already posted:

They already published Q1 newsletter:

Not much on those sites yet, I would like them to post some more detail maps.

Motorways rob people though, surely locals will be out campaigning against its construction.

Enda Kenny last week said that motorways were partly responsible for the rise in rural crime and robberies.

Enda Kenny says a lot of things. Some of them even don't get him in trouble. :P
