    Yesterday there was a bit of a queue - maybe 5-10 mins. Today seemed ok though.

    Is the diversion a throwaway piece of road that will not be used when the work is complete or does it form part of the finished roadway?
    From looking at the plans the southern part of the diversion will be an access road for a farm, there'll be a new roundabout and then the northern part will be the "new" N11 or whatever the road will be called after the motorway opens.

    Really? I've been on it several times a day since it opened and i'm yet to see a delay on it. Maybe I'm on it at a different time to you.

    Yes, I usually get there at about 7:15 and the first day there was a noticeable queue. Presumably everyone was going slow as they weren't sure about it, or maybe they just wanted to have a longer look. Since then there hasn't really been any queuing but it is still a bit slower than it used to be on the old road as that short stretch is a 60 kph limit.

    The two bumps at the top of the hill along the new stretch are going to catch someone out and cause an accident

    Must be to facilitate a future roundabout. I travel it every day and went through it late tonight. Didn't reduce speed going over it to see how the car would react and I would definitely be concerned about it in the rain or worse, Frost.

    Unbelievable that they have left it like that. Hopefully they'll put in rumble strips or some safety feature before its to late.

    Hardly a machine moved today with the weather being so bad. With the 13 hour days they've being doing I'd say they were delighted.

    Noticed signs saying 'major traffic switch w/c 1/9/14' this morning. Looks like the bit nearest Arklow is next.

    It was pretty slow late yesterday evening and early this morning. Oh well, I suppose we'll just have to suck it up. At least they're making good progress.

    Commuting from Gorey is a slow business these days. Most mornings I get stuck at the Arklow end of the road works for 10 - 15 minutes. I've tried going out via Rathdrum but there's not much difference in overall journey times.

    Does anyone have any quicker routes / a helicopter I could borrow? :)

    Many thanks to vickers209 for all of the photos - I won't recognise the place when I travel the N11 again. :) Great work. Hope the wet weather won't slow things down too much.

    i live right across the road from it..still a good bit of work to be done on it..ill post a picture of progress at the weekend..rumour from neighbour is even when completed it wont open for at least another year anyway as a few of the other stations are already in financial diffculty. this particular station was planned before the financial crash and was based on projected road traffic figures of the era, this info unconfirmed of course

    It's known that that station will operate at a loss and the government are subsidising it because of that.

    It was discussed here on boards. I cant remember exactly which thread but I'm sure someone will post a link.

    How is the new configuration around Jack Whites going? Has it slowed traffic down a lot? I assume it's this configuration that I heard on the news today (only caught the end of it) ??
