    Has the Monastery Road interchange started? I seen clearance of trees and scrubs along the borders!

    On the EIS, I noticed that there is to be an undergrownd slip on the westbound carrigeway in the Limerick/Naas direction, is this correct :confused: and it amazes me that the Northbound slip to the (adjacent to Luas park and ride) Naas road outbound where taffic is both inflicted by luas and the existing citybound traffic... Yikes! This is inadequate considering that there's already tailbacks stretching that piece of tarmac.

    Aren't these the same thing Mysterious? I had a good look at the EIS drawings a while back and couldn't find any underground bits (and no mention is made in the description of such underground stretches).

    There appears to be traffic signals on the M50 northbound off slip to N7 westbound, this is to protect the Luas and traffic from the city (R110). I would have much prefered the off slip to go under the Luas here and merge in a freeflow manner with the N7 beyond the Monastery Road overbridge (this would have been quite expensive I would imagine and may be difficult to accomplish without long closures!).

    Of more concern perhaps are the signals on the N7 eastbound immediately before the proposed M50 junction, which will protect monastery road traffic. This is ludicrous and that road should be stopped up and traffic diverted to Newland's Cross/Nangor Road. It's crazy that such an important junction be affected like this by a comoparitively minor road.
