    Oh totally agreed, I just put in a circle roughly where I felt a new interchange could be.

    I just think we need rid of Lakeview now, that's my biggest desire there. My secondary motivation is getting Dungourney traffic out of Midleton and third motivation is getting Cloyne traffic out of Ballinacurra.

    I'd be amazed if there is a proposal to remove the Lakeview RAB and absolutely astounded if it survices the outcry from locals.

    This is why I think they should focus on a link road to the east of Midleton, as drawn above, and push as many commuters as possible to the train. I can't see a full GSJ ever being built there, many some movements accommodated but not all.

    Thats what worries me. I fear Lakeview will stay. Only think you could do is sever the N/S link and move the whole junction to the east, negating the need for a bridge there at all.

    Making Lakeview limited access, would help a lot, and a full movement junction can go further east.

    Well, the best chance of removing the Lakeview RAB is if an alternative junction and link roads north and south are provided further east first, so that should be the priority.

    I'm touring in France/Spain/Portugal at the moment and have come across a every simple solution to situations like the N25 through the Lakeview Roundabout.

    Lane 2 signed for straight ahead only with Lane 1 signed for all other routes.

    Lane 2 then taken over the junction/roundabout on a prefabricated overpass which can be either constructed from steel or concrete sections.

    For the Lakeview Roundabout only a short section of dual carriageway would be need to the east of the roundabout to facilitate the separation of through traffic from traffic for the Midleton-Ballinacurra areas

    Job done at an economical cost and with a short timescale.

    This week, Fianna Fáil candidate James O'Connor has announced that the bypass project for a notorious section of the N25 - stretching from Midleton to Youghal - has reached a major milestone in order to make the road safer.

    He confirmed that the County Council's work on the first phase of the bypass is complete and that it will now move to tender, where engineering design consultants will be appointed.

    So is this now a full on bypass of Castlemartyr and Killeagh? I originally thought this was a small s2 to get past Castlemartyr but a proper approach to upgrading the N25 is definitely a smarter move.
