    Finally the contract has been signed and expected to be completed in 28 months. Great news and should have been done years ago.

    Those bends were so dangerous given the amount of crashes on them

    There have been two himac machines working on the section of road getting it ready for the last few months,digging out ditches etc.So there is a very good chance that it will be built quickly,as all the houses that were in the way were knocked down years ago,and the high tension ESB wires were moved.:D

    Was it not reported on Wicklownews.net that those himacs were doing unrelated work?

    It was related work, they were clearing the site under a separate contract in anticipation of the PPP contract being signed

    Good news for all commuters on that stretch of road. Just wondering if this is a ppp where will the payback come from? New property tax or toll booths? Hopefully the former.

    No tool booths, I hear, and services area between Arklow and Gorey.

    Glad it's finally happening. I just hope that it doesn't cause any delays to already busy rush hour commuter traffic.

    This road scheme should have been built about a decade ago - but I suppose it's a case of better late than never.

    This scheme will save lives as the Arklow - Rathnew section of the N11 is a notorious accident black spot.
