    There are no collisions reported at those junctions according to the map on the rsa website

    The road is 100 because WCC never applied to increase the speed limit on the dual carriageway section.

    But we've digressed now from the thread's point a lot.
    Yip sorry, that option was available (to increase speed to 120) even though road was not motorway, but option isn't taken very often.
    I'll hobble back to the n11 threads now :)

    Wish they just finish already and pull back that bloody barrier etc. Crazy to think they couldn't have built this flyover with the M9 five years, which surely would have been far cheaper and less disruptive. Another example of zero foresight in the place but I suppose we are lucky the road itself was even built in hindsight.

    Can someone let me know exactly where the M11 Gorey Motorway service area is being built? Is it on the part that bypasses Gorey or somewhere to the north?

    Thanks but I've never driven through the area so I don't know what it looks like. Is it near the village of Inch?

    Current Google Streetview is from October 2014 and shows work in progress :)

    Cones have been placed northbound and southbound on the M9 at the new services slips, also signs indicating hard shoulders are closed.

    Hopefully this will be the start of the construction of the actual services.

    STILL no official services for the Dublin - Cork corridor, just a random selection of crap/only-ok private operators.

    What's wrong with Jct 14 services near Monasterevin?

    There's a couple of new offline, non-official MSAs in the pipeline too.

    We don't need gold-plated facilities - a place to piss, ****, eat and get some fuel does the job.

    Some consistent signage of services (as long as they fulfil some minimum criteria) on the mainline would help a lot.

    J14 isn't online (not giving out about that tho), and is almost 200km from Cork.

    Trees are going to end up growing again on the Gorey site before they get around to getting it bloody open. How long is that fuel price sign up now? Must be nearly a year.

    The Gorey site will be a Topaz station, they have yet to do a fit out on the site. The fit out could probably be done in about 6 weeks once they give the go ahead.

    Where did you get your info about it being a topaz? Presumably the fast food will be supermacs then?

    http://www.independent.ie/regionals/wicklowpeople/news/m11-services-wont-open-until-end-of-year-31255634.html
    Sources say that Topaz has been identified as the preferred company to take the tender for the premises, but it has until early July to agree to take on the project.
    It could then be another six months before the service station is fitted out, approved, and ready to open, meaning it will be the end of 2015, or early 2016 before the first customers walk through the doors.
