    There's overpases/underpasses to construct presumably if it's a spaghetti junction type deal?

    Thought a poster said earlier that all that work had been done already.

    It's all in place,I used to work on schemes like that,once the heavy work is done you'd be amazed at how quickly things take shape.

    From AA Roadwatch:

    From midnight tonight (13th) the northbound carriageway of the M11 will be closed for works just north of the Clogh R/A, which is north of Camolin, for a stretch of approx. 1.4km, until 31st March 2019. Northbound traffic will travel in a contraflow system on the southbound carriageway for the duration of these works, with a single lane in operation on both carriageways throughout.

    Looks like tie-in works are kicking off now.

    It's not the asphalt, it's the blinding layer that goes underneath!

    that's what's called CBM.
    It is 40mm stone mixed with cement to make a concrete base.
    The brown colour is the colour of the stone.
    It is mixed on site in BAMs own batching plant.
    The product is then moved with either a dump truck or a tipper truck.

    Is that standard or just specific for this job? Never seen it being done before

    Are there any services like Applegreen going in? Will that take additional time after all is complete or would that start that before the completion date?

    Happy New Year!

    A few shots from N30 end of N30/N80/M11 link road taken on run this morning. Plenty of drainage and pavement work to be completed here.


    From the first bridge structure at Jamestown looking towards the N30 tie in. The drainage pipes in the distance are where the roundabout is going.

    469256.gif



    And from the other side of this structure looking north.

    469259.gif



    And these two from the next bridge opened in December loking south towards the previous photos. Earthworks only completed recently when bridge opened and old road removed.

    469260.gif



    And looking north towards the major structures and embankments built at Monart crossing the local road and river. A huge amount of stone was blasted from here and crushed over the last 18 months to provide the base for the pavement works.

    is the link road being de-prioritised in favour of getting the M11 bit open early I wonder?

    No, work was going flat out on it.
    I was told that some scumbags relieved all the vehicles parked up there of their diesel over the holidays.

    Reply to email I sent to TII regarding Gorey Service Station
    Dear JD,

    The position in relation to your enquiry is as follows.

    ..



    Following the withdrawal of the legal challenge, discussions were resumed with the Preferred Bidder, Circle K (formerly, Topaz), and the contract was signed in July 2018.
    Works commenced on the fit-out of the Gorey Service Area in September 2018 following site mobilisation and it is anticipated that the facility will open in Q2, 2019.

    That's what it was costing TI before they handed site over to Main Contractor, their responsibility now.

    Works going on at 1am on the Monart interchange the other night.
    There's a lot of digging out still to be done there as the new road is a long way under the existing road.

    They are a right pack of wasters B..
    They wasted some amount of money on the m11 job.
    People wonder about the children's hospital .
    They must be well connected.

    Or any chance they will shift workers to the New Ross project given it seems to be behind schedule ?

    BAM's tactic is tender low, and then screwing the tax payer for every cent they are worth. Any extra is a huge extra, they know full well the public purse is just there to be opened at the drop of a hat.

    Road contracts are fixed priced aren't they? Any money wasted is their own loss.

    How do you screw the tax payer on a fixed price contact. TII (or the NRA they were) resolved all those issues back in the mid 00s.

    The children's hospital is nothing like any recent road project.

    Thanks very much. Unfortunately does not have what I am looking for

    Is there any other drawings available to members of the public other than those in volume 4 of the EIS?
    For example, the scheme drawings in the EIS make reference to other drawings - eg. 2057/M11/100/212.
    Surely if the drawings was referred to in the EIS, and the EIS formed part of the An Bord Pleanala approval, then said drawing should be available to the public?

    Tying in has begun just North of Oylegate with the existing N11.
    Hard to get a picture due to the traffic calming measures, maybe Sunday might be safest to get one.
