    Anyone know what traffic is going to be like on the approaches to Cobh next Wednesday on? Wednesday should be light enough, I guess, but I expect Thursday-Sunday to be busy busy busy. Gates open at 7am, according to the website, so traffic is going to be mental from 6am, but pretty much clear before rush hour starts? Or will it be solid traffic around there for the duration pretty much? I live in Carrigtwohill and trying to decide if I should pull a sickie next week :pac:

    The turn off for Cobh is only to be used for the golf traffic during the competition
    The cobh traffic is to be diverted off the cobh road at dog lodge and into carrigtowhil and will use Junction 4

    Hmm, that's what I read on the AA site, too, although it's not really clear how people get to/from Cobh for those 4 days - turn right opp Fota Island and go around the back roads to Barryscourt? I'm guessing that will make things worse in Carrigtwohill rather than better. I feel a cold coming on, hope the weather is nice :)

    don't even think about it, we're currently enjoying the non-congested Rochestown Road and would like to continue to do so for the rest of the summer

    weekly ferry ticket costs €12,500 anyway ;)

    Last time, the road main was closed and access to the golf was by pass or ticket.

    Cobh traffic proceeded to Carrightwohill and took a back road to Cobh which effectively bypasses the Fota Traffic.

    Worked well enough I though on the occasions that I visited Cobh on business.

    I thought I could buy a ferry for twelve thousand and five hundred Euro. No wonder that I avoid it. :pac:
