"Temporary closure of M4 will cause chaos"

L1011

Hrm. I don't remember seeing the work on the M4 but you can't see any seperate wire sections for the crossover points anyway.

Along the M1 the seperate little sections of wires were put in around the Armco barriers around the bridges and were put in the crossover areas to replace the little bollards they hard "preventing" cars going the wrong way. :pac: If I'm awake on the way home today I'll check how many have the shorter sections.

On the M4 they usually change sections at overbridges too. There's only one crossover point between each junction on the 1993 section also IIRC.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I refer to our earlier correspondence.

I wish to inform you that a meeting has taken place between Kildare County Council, the NRA, their contractor and An Garda Siochana and a decision has been made to defer the completion of the works on the M4 until early in the New Year.

Your comments regarding the duration of the closure have been noted and every effort will be made to minimise any possible disruption when the works are ongoing.

Please note that a revised Notice of Intention will be advertised in the local press (Leinster Leader and Liffey Champion) shortly.

Regards

Michael O'Leary
A/Director of Services
Transportation & Public Safety
Kildare County Council

A great result! This work will have far less impact on the public after the Christmas when there is no Christmas traffic.

The question now is why nobody within the NRA or County Council, An Garda Siochana or the contractors could see the chaos these works would cause, are they all that incompetant?
