I had a look at this today.
Firstly I recorded a video of the Nenagh Bypass as it was today, from east to west. For some reason I can't embed videos here anymore, so here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzQKmkUuVGQ
Secondly, I have some pictures...

It was difficult to get more pictures, because there aren't many overbridges along this section. Mostly, underpasses are used to realign the L and R roads. I think this will be a stunning drive when it's finished - but that's the catch, isn't it? From what I've seen, this scheme is now well behind the M8 M-F scheme. We can certainly rule out an opening of the M7 between Limerick and Nenagh before Q3 (and maybe even Q4) 2009.0 -
I have a few photographic updates. A bit of progress with the pavement and concrete barrier has been made, but we're still miles away from an opening.
This photo is taken from an overbridge west of the end of the Nenagh Bypass. You can access it by taking the first right turn up a narrow lane after you clear the bypass heading from Limerick. I photographed the same position last February; that picture is upthread.
This photo is taken from the same overbridge, this time looking towards the Nenagh Bypass and Dublin:
This photo, which looks east, was taken from an overbridge close to the turn off for Silvermines:
