    The project is expected to take 21 months to complete, with 150 people being employed during construction.
    Preparatory work involving the installation of site offices began yesterday, and is expected to continue for two weeks.

    Within a week or two I'd expect. It shouldn't cause much disruption, bar the construction of a few roundabouts. Maybe some minor disruption on local roads. As for a completion date...no idea but before the deadline would definitely be expected.

    Thats the same question worded differently. "Within a week or two" is still the answer.

    one of the companys involved cannot cannot start for a few weeks due to the fact that where they are due to start is a swap at the moment and requires a few weeks of dry weather.

    stevielenihan, a few things:

    Firstly, welcome to the Roads Forum.

    As with all message boards, you should not repeat the same post multiple times. When you ask a question, you need only ask it once. Wait a few days for someone to answer it. If after a few days no one has answered your question, feel free to ask it again.

    Also, it would help if you added a bit more to your posts than random questions with little or no accompanying comments.

    Thanks :)

    Setting up the site office is not as simple as plonking down a port-a-cabin. There will be several individual offices needed for contractors management staff, engineers, meeting rooms as well as offices for the REs. There are also minimum standards for welfare facilities that have to be provided; toilets (both male and female), washrooms (including showers), canteens, etc. These facilities will have to be in place before any real work can start.

    All this will require services such as electricity connection (probably will have to set up a genny initially because it will take months for the ESB to connect them to the mains). They will also require running water, sewerage and broadband connections. They will most likely have an alarm system set up in the site offices with CCTV cameras.

    They will also have to set up a secure area for storage of tools, plant, etc. before anything expensive can be brought to site. Fuel storage areas will require bunded tanks. The entire compound will have to be stoned and leveled and surrounded by palisade fencing. All these things take time.

    Back on topic, how on earth did this trump Galway, Adare AND ClareGalway.

    Who (other than Tralee residents) needs to bypass Tralee. Who? Where? Healy Raes are just crooks. Jesus at least get a decent overall N21 which would serve the towns of T, K and L much better.

    It's mysterious no doubt. The doing of this will probably be used as an excuse to not do Adare to Abbeyfeale...so it could set things back rather than move them forward.

    Tralee is in North Kerry. The Healy Rae's represent South/West Kerry.

    Don't think it's a new poster thing...just someone with a poor understanding of how to communicate....

    Actually, bypasses of towns usually are more needed by the road users that have no business in bypassed town. If I'm from Listowel and want to go to Killarney/Killorglin/Castleisland, I won't have to go into Tralee. But the residents of Tralee will also benefit with less clogged up streets.

    On Raidio na Gaeltachta local news today it was announced that the bypass project will be officially launched (turn of a sod I presume) next Thursday - August 4th - by Leo Varadkar. They didn't give a source but they normally just read out press releases from local TDs etc.

    ...and here it is:

    ...mind you we learn something new everyday - the N5 is in Cork - did you guys know that? :rolleyes:
    Other national projects going ahead this year include the €98m N5 road project in Cork, the N3 Belturbet Bypass, the N5 Longford Bypass, the N4 Downs Grade Separation project, and the N52 Carrickbridge to Dalystown project.

    ...it'll probably be corrected though! :pac:

    Great quote from that thread about the Rea to Tullig N69 realignment.
    A 6.5 million euro contract ... was signed this afternoon. ... The work, which has already begun is being carried out by local contractors.
    I love the way they sign the contract after the work has already started.

    Some corruption there all right. There is already a small bypass of the town, this additional bypass is only useful for people going from Listowel to Bypass Tralee onto killorglin. All tourists from limerick, dublin can use the main castleisland road. This will not even benefit listowel people going to Dingle. Castleisland is closer going through abbeyfeale. This road will serve almost nobody.

    This money could of done both newmarket and abbeyfeale. It would be interesting to see what contractors or landowners benefit from this strange decision of the previous government. This should of been bottom of the list, shocking how the healy raes could hold the country to ransom.

    They have absolutely none *now*

    There has been occasions where Jackie has been the single vote holding an FF government in power, and being in that position gives the independent in question (Tony Gregory was that independent once) MASSIVE power.

    Under the Public Works Contracts, the contractor has to start onsite within 20 working days of receiving the Letter of Intention, so they may start before the signing of the actual contract document.
