    Hi Guys,

    Am doing a round trip from Portlaoise to Dublin Daily via motorway, trouble is they have now decided in their infinate wisdom to dig great big holes in Monasterevin for sewage works.

    Anyone know how I can bypass it after ballybrittas and still arrive on the kildare bypass? more important on the trip to dublin rather than the trip back.

    I was stuck in traffic last night for approx 1/2 hour and night b4 for almost 1 hour due to these works. And tailbacks of approx 1 - 2 miles.

    tks

    You could try driving through Athy, then straight onto the Dublin Road and before Kilcullen, you have the motorway. I dunno if it would be any quicker, but I heard about those delays through Monasterevin and you would have nothing like that.

    You could try

    Portlaoise - Carlow - Athy - Kildangan/Crosskeys- Kildare

    or Portlaoise - Jamestown - Vickerstown - Kildangan/Crosskeys - Kildare

    or Portlaoise- Stradbally - Athy - Fontstown- Kilcullen (porberly the best for its road quality).

    Mike.

    That would be going a bit out of the way. I was in Athy last Monday during the day and while there was too many HGVs for a town centre, traffic appeared very light.

    If avoiding Monasterevin, I would do the Stradbally-Athy-Kilcullen(M9) route, no need to double back to Kildare town.

    You could get the train!
