N11 - The builders take their time

Pal

I travel Dublin to Wexford frequently.

Not a lot changes. It's a building site for much of the N11.

Can anybody tell me
when the builders will be finished building this road
and why they only work office hours ?

An approximate year will suffice.

Also who's paying the wages for this situation.

thanks

The only part under construction at the moment is the rathnew/ashford bypass.
This should be finished by the end of the year..

Wide-median dual carriageway designed by Arup and managed by Wicklow County Council, which commenced construction in Q1, 2002. The contractor is Sisk/Morris.
Antisocial hours work costs more per hour.

They are also starting the South Eastern Motorway / Bray-Shankill Bypass Interchange. I'm not sure what stage the Wyattville-Stillorgan QBC / upgrade is at.

The wyatville exchange is nearly complete- and you are right about the interchange.
Driving from Wexford , it is quite apparent the main motorway will continue on to the m50-judging by the alignment of the work in progress

that's correct - http://www.dlrcoco.ie/M50new/Map2.htm


they still have a 40mph limit on the Kilmac-GOTD section as well, supposedly to allow landscaping work to finish. nobody is obeying the limit though.

Is the speed limit an official sign. If its not it has no legal standing. Must be the usual metal circular signs , black writing red circle.

Yes it has proper signs. When first opened there were plenty of fish-shot-in-barrel-by-guardai occourences but someone high up must have threatened mass pork roastings because I haven't seen them there in months.

they also have end of limit signs up, but they are covered with black plastic at the moment.

does this mean that the temporary signs they have up at roadworks have no legal standing - there's a 40mph limit on the M11 at the moment where they are building the junction with the M50 but hardly anyone is observing it.

What about the speed signs I've noticed on the Kilmacud Road...they are white rectangles of cardboard with "new speed limit" and 30 in a roundal. ARe these legal?

Should a speed limit sign be of a uniform size? I am of the opinion that with new and private speed checks coming in that every section of road that you can enter onto must have a pseed limit sign posted and that these must be posted at regular intervals and preferably with the spped painted on the road beside the sign.

They are merely reminders, there will no doubt be statutory signs as well.
