    The M28 north will split in 2 before Bloomfield. 2 lanes will travel to N40 west (newly constructed). 1 lane will go towards N40 east.

    The road up off the Rochestown road will split into 2. One side will join up with the 2 lanes going N40 west. The only will merge with the 1 lane going N40 east.

    Thanks. Sounds much better than the current setup. The weaving there is sketchy enough.

    I had a look at this last night. The M28 split before Bloomfield will be 1 lane to M28 west and 1 lane to M28 east. That's a reduction on what's there at present (2 lanes to M28 west and 1 lane to M28 east) but will remove the R610 traffic and the associated weaving

    I was wondering about this because every time I come down Carrs Hill I wondered where they would find the space for an elevated 2 lane link between M28N -> N40W. The space at Newlyn Vale is fairly tight but the elevated 1 lane flyover seems feasible especially with the reduction of R610 -> N40W also being narrowed to 1 lane.

    The above situation remedies the significant weaving issues at Bloomfield which are quite dangerous at the minute given the volumes of traffic using the interchange.

    Wow. I had no idea the primary cross artery in Douglas was a private road.

    Surely, the case for a right of way would be strong!

    They should CPO the road, and add an extra lane to the N40 above it.

    Looks like these plans are back in the pipeline.
