N25/N30 - New Ross Bypass [open to traffic]

Our Irish office is looking to recruit 4 number experienced Resident Engineers with Road/Traffic Management experience as part of our Authority’s site supervisory staff for the forthcoming “N25 New Ross Bypass PPP” scheme in Counties Wexford/Kilkenny in the South East of Ireland. The project will involve the construction of approximately 14.8km of National Route comprising of approximately 13.6km of Dual Carriageway and approximately 1.2km of Single Carriageway and associated works. It will also include an Extrados bridge crossing the River Barrow which will have two 230m main spans and a total length of about 900m.

We are expecting the appointment of the Resident Engineers to take place in September/October 2015 for duration of approximately 40 months. This period will be spent on site in the vicinity of New Ross.

I take it when they refer to Dual Carriageway they mean Type 2 (or 2+2)?

Surely Kilmeaden - New Ross will then be redesignated M

Director of Services with Wexford County Council's Roads Department, Eamonn Hore told this newspaper that the contracts will be signed in the first or second week of October and work will begin shortly afterwards.

Mr Hore said: 'All preliminary works are completed and work should start in November. The timeline has gone from vague to definite and the contracts should be signed now in the first or second week of October. All court and property issues have been finalised. There is nothing remaining to be done apart from signing the contracts.'

Apparently there will be a sod turning a la what was done with the M11 on Friday in about six weeks' time, according to that guy who works for Brendan Howlin. Another box ticked for the Wexford electorate in time for the next election. Good news either way that it's finally going to happen soon!

Here are some facts and information about the New Ross Bypass:

• The project was approved by An Bord Pleanála back in December of 2008.
• The project will cost roughly €217m.
• An estimated 300 jobs will be created throughout the course of its construction.
• Work on the project is expected to begin at the end of 2015 / early 2016.
• The bypass is expected to be completed by 2018.
• The new bridge will be 900 metres in length, making it Ireland’s longest bridge (in comparison, the bridge in Wexford Town is 590 metres in length).
