Dublin to Rosslare - How long?

zuutroy

Leaving on Friday at around 11am. Any ideas what time I should expect to reach Rosslare Harbour. Ta.

Where in Dublin are you starting from? Once on the M11/N11 it should take about 100-110 mins if Gorey is'nt too bad. Add another 15-25 if it is.

I've had to drive regularly between UCD and just south of Wex town- always seems to take me the bones of 2 hours; and I don't delay!Difficult road to make time on with all the crappy little towns like Ferns etc.
Rosslare-Dublin must be nearly 100 miles all said and done, Wexford town is almost 90..

Coming from Dublin 3. I'm catching the ferry so if I give it 3 hours that should be plenty?

I can't see it taking more than 3 hours. Take the Eastlink anyway. You should do it in a bout 2 10. I have done Santry to (near) Wexford in about 1 45 (7am Saturday).

Allow 3 hours to be safe. That includes a stop for personal needs etc. lol.

Gorey - if going through at Peak Hour take the Gorey Avoider route! Take a left at Inch!

But do not sneeze at Inch or you'll miss it!

I do this one a lot, and i always turn left in Gorey and go the other road to wexford, i think it saves around 20mins, the n11 goes arseways after gorey to link up with enniscorthy.

not sure about this

Rosslare - Gorey via Enniscorthy is 40 miles
Rosslare - Gorey via Ballycanew is 35 miles

but on the latter route you have to go through Wexford town, and the speed limit (and road quality) is lower along the entire route. You might save some time in Gorey though....

Won't save time in Gorey and its a crap raod but its 38km to wexford from Gorey via balleycanew, then another 14 to Rosslare, dunno about the n11 from Gorey to wexford, but it deffo seems much shorter and faster to me, i nearly always go that way.
