N9 Grannagh

Some work going on right now in Grannagh for the N25 bypass. Whatever sort of junction or flyover they're doing looks like it's going to be massive. Sure 'twill look like Dallas when 'tis finished!

Am I right in thinking they're actually building a parallel road down in the little valley next to the N9? (the section on the way out of town straight after the crappy little roundabout).

Indeed they are, a lot of it is goin on very near my house, some of it in two of the fields beside us and in front of us. It's mad seein all these fields change so much after growin up with them. They've dug some channel going from the N9 up to the Kilmacow Rd. If you go in the back way to town from the Night Cap you'll see a lot of it too. Can't wait for the new road to be finished.

Looking at Mike's picture, that's the N9 in the top left, correct? So the N25 and the new N9 will both go over the existing N9 it seems. That's why they're lowering the road presumably, since they wouldn't have the clearance otherwise.

Are they going to be able to build both those big flyovers without closing the N9? Surely not?!
