M11/N30 - Gorey to Enniscorthy [open to traffic]

loyatemu · 2005-01-31 16:08:31

I thought Ferns was being done as part of the enniscorthy bypass - maybe I'm wrong.

Are they going under the Oulart Rd? They're digging a mighty hole.

Interchange going there. They've dug a huge hole on the Kiltealy road too where the Milehouse interchange is going.

The Oulart Rd will go under the motorway probably.

They must have changed. The N25 New Ross bypass is scheduled to open in January 2019 and the Enniscorthy bypass in mid 2019.

I'd be surprised if Enniscorthy didn't open until mid 2019. It's been under construction since January 2016. That would be 3 and a half years. I think it was delayed due to bad weather in 2016 though on a few occasions.

During the summer it was on average 13 hour days Monday to Friday (even longer on some sections) and 7 or 8 hour days on Saturday.
One benefit of being in the SE is the fact we have more dry days than wet compared to schemes further West. In July we had one instance of a couple of wet days but they kept hauling,the next day they had to dampen the haul roads to keep the dust down.
There have been some issues with delays on structures alright.The Slaney bridge lift is 2 months behind,the Marshalstown road is still closed well after the proposed reopening date. However other work is flying along.

This is not a "slight change" from the original design. The Oulart road always crossed over the moterway with a roundabout on the Oulart side which has a link road to the Ballydawmore interchange

These over-runs on the bridges are ridiculous at this stage. Monday has come and gone, as has Tuesday and still the Marshlstown road remains closed.

I wouldn't think so, there's an awful lot of work left to do on it still. They're only getting going on the Ballydawmore interchange now, that's where the N30 link road and the new M11 connect.

Unless I'm missing something, when they have it done as far as Scarawalsh it could be opened to act at least as a by pass of Enniscorthy?

ie Templescoby - Clavass on map here

In general, major road projects open as a whole rather than piece by piece. The Gort bypass was ready to go a few months before the rest of the M17/M18 project, but didn't open until the same time as the rest of the scheme.

Maybe I'm completely wrong but the M11 N30 scheme isn't connecting to the existing N11 at Scarawalsh. It looks to me like it's going over the roundabout to Ballydawmore.

Two roundabouts at Scarwalsh I believe.It's the main exit for Enniscorthy.

Is Scarawalsh going to be grade-seperated in any way?
Or will it be more like the 2 roundabouts at Collooney on the N4?
