Dublin Outer Orbital - Announcement coming?

darkman2 · 2010-04-26 16:33:50

Not sure if anyone noticed but Sponge Bob said in C&T that an announcement is to be made on this in a couple of weeks and that it could involve widening of other motorways. If it is anything like that it would be one gigantic scheme. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055416009&page=4

One thing that I do wonder about future widening schemes on the likes of the M1, M4 and M7 is would they end up like the M50 with a 100kmh limit because of sightlines and possibly even lanes which are slightly narrower than usual?

I would like to see the Dublin Outer Oribital at some eventual stage but there are many other routes which I would rather see done first.
M17/M18
M20
Galway City Outer Bypass
....etc.

Absolutely crazy if this is even talked up before any action (or even more talk) on M20, M18, Galway Bypass.

Definiately. But let them plan away for the time being; gets it ready to go at least. But yeah, no way it should be built before a whole pile of other stuff is done.
