    It's not the only bypass where the chicanes are tight

    Deliberately done to slow down traffic and help protect the workers I presume, could catch out the unwary though.

    Hi Folks,

    I found a picture of the Proposed interchange in Kiltiernan, To the North of Kiltiernan It's going to be N67 to Kilcolgan as far as that and then it will be R458 similar to the South of Kiltiernan on the old N18 it's going to be R458


    Could someone tell me how you upload PDF files to this discussion? Or PM me and I will give you the picture of the proposed Kiltiernan Interchange .
    Thanks

    By 2030? The M20 is unlikely to be finished by then.

    Some work today (16/12/2015) at Cartymore, Athenry with the arrival of the crane to do the bridge for the R339 to go over the new road,

    Sorry not a great shot but it was taken in moving traffic on the way into Galway.

    I still can't work out how the middle bridge will look like. I guess they will use more beams on either side of the supports.

    This is it would look like when the concrete is poured over the beams

    I know the basics of overbridges constructed using prestressed beams. That's fine.

    I'm just curious how long the middle viaduct is going to be. Now we only have beams over the M6 mainline. I guess they will extend the bridge on either side by adding more pillars and beams rather than embankments and separate bridges over the roundabout.

    We'll see.

    What I can't fathom from the pics of Rathmorrissey is will the middle bridge get sufficient clearance over the middle level roundabout?

    It doesn't look obvious from the pics.

    Ok, I made simple drawings (very, very simple ;)) about what I had in mind in my question.

    Will they use single bridge like this:
    vbulletin23227656053_5e6ebfa74d_b.jpgSingle bridge by Geogregor*, on Flickr

    Or separate bridges over the mainline and the roundabout:

    For now the construction of this structure is a bit mysterious for me.
