used it this morning.. tiz very handy..

goes from Rath Roundabout to 9 Mile roundabout in case anyone is wondering...

cust out all those stops with lights etc in Ashbourne...

This motorway or dual?

Would make no sense IMO to build dual there, might as well make it 120kmh motorway.

skywalker_208 · 22-03-2006 12:49pm

its all dual.. the entire bypass

Whats the bottle neck like once you reach the roundabout at the m50 ?

How long does it take from Ashbourne?

skywalker_208 · 22-03-2006 2:13pm

theres no bottleneck at the M50 when i get there anyway.. bout 7am, although the sequence of lights seem to change regularly...

are you looking for a time from Ashbourne to M50 on the new road? the section in the middle is not complete yet.. so you still have to go onto the N2 at nine mile stone

Do they have the silly/non-standard/illegal overhead signage as on the southern leg of the M50?

Moanin · 22-03-2006 2:27pm

Ya wondering how long it takes from Ashbourne to m50 roundabout?

Badly needed that bypass

Looks like the road will have a 120km/h speed limit:

While the few houses cut off from the M50 intechange stopped this from being a motorway (have a look at the crazily tight exit faciliting them, by the way), surely completely avoiding the risk of private accesses being granted permission would have been worth the cost of buying the houses or building another bridge?

Phase 2 of Ashbourne Bypass is now open.
