    Dungarvan is the Irish example: two terminal roundabouts plus five intermediate ones along a 3 km stretch of road. Despite the name, N25 around Dungarvan was never really a bypass, more of a relief-road for the town.

    This scheme is further from Foxford than N25 is from Dungarvan, and national routes are under much more planning protection than they used to be, which should prevent new junctions springing up.

    I really don't understand why the proposed Foxford bypass is not extended to meet the N26 on the east of Foxford. Seems like a wasted opportunity to kill two birds with one bypass.

    It's good to see the upgrade of the N26 from Ballina to Foxford appears to be moving ahead of the Foxford bypass in the road upgrade pecking order.

    The N26 upgrade is proceeding to route options selection stage later in the summer, while the Foxford bypass, one of Eamon Ryan's pet projects, is still stuck at the strategic assessment stage.

    Tender out for topographical survey for Foxford-Mount Falcon.

    Has much been published about what's proposed here?

    The entire N26 needs to get done ASAP. The recent tragic accident should never happen again.

    Not much detail is available marno. My best guess is that Mount Falcon to Foxford will be a largely online upgrade to type 1 SC, perhaps done as 2-3 minor works projects. I would love to see a more ambitious approach though.

    Tender has been published for consultants to take the N58 Foxford bypass through phases 1-4. That's according to the council, I can't find it on etenders.
