    Is it possible the dual carriageway before Rathnew bypass can be redesignated Motorway? I see a bus stop and the exits look a bit short but could it be a motorway most of the way back to Exit 11 Graystones Kilcoole Kilpedder?
    Yes with a little work, but the really important part is Bray-Greystones. This needs widening to 6 lanes, but would cost a fortune due to a difficult route, and the enviro crowd would go mental.

    Surveyors out in the fields between Jack White's and Barndarrig today so it looks like things are definitely on the move.

    No - 10yrs before Enniscorthy by pass

    Bump.

    €14 million has been allocated this year for Wexford's roads including the Enniscorthy bypass.

    Once M17/18 gets off the ground I'd say M11 Enniscorthy will be next.

    Hope you're right but I'm sceptical and it will cost a lot more than 14M for that by pass.

    Can imagine it will cost north of that

    Here's a heretical thought. Wouldn't it have been cheaper and more effective to extend the M9 from Waterford to Rosslare, seeing as the damn thing is half empty in places?

    No,the New Ross bypass is due to start soon anyway.The M11/N11 is the main route from Rosslare to Dublin and Enniscorthy is a huge bottleneck.The likes of Ferns & Camolin will also be bypassed so it'll be a clear run to & from the capital.

    Thinking the same,the report in the paper had it wrong.The money is for the national roads in the county with €850k for the upkeep of smaller roads.

    Long way round. At least an extra 70 km, also most of the N/M11 is a major commuter route. If anything it should have been the other way around.

    I think was what was under consideration at one point. The N11 would have passed to the west of Enniscorthy, rather than to the east as is now planned. I presume there would have been an interchange somewhere south and west of Enniscorthy, with motorways/DCs to Waterford/Wexford

    Isn't the Enniscorthy bypass going both East & West of the town? One side to link up with the N30 & the other to rejoin the N11 near Oylegate with a link road & new bridge crossing the Slaney at Solsboro?

    Yes, it is. But I gthink they looked at having the mainline of the N11 to the west of the town, instead of to the east. It's quite a long time ago now, and quite moot :)

    It couldn't be classed as motorway currently. Most junctions are not grade separated, while bus stops would be removed and not certain but going by other motorways there is some sightlines issues on some of the bends. Would require a lot of upgrades to be motorway.
