    Anyone know what's happening at Kilshane Cross? Closed one way for 6 months for "realignment works" but I can't find anything further online bar a reference in the Fingal Development Plan to an "MP12A - Kilshane Masterplan" .. which isn't in the list of plans here: https://www.fingal.ie/council/service/local-area-plans-and-masterplans

    I came through there yesterday from the N2 side and it looks like they're erecting a new warehouse of some sort (it almost looks like a hanger considering the size/height of it?) along with widening part of the road (the N2 end).

    Very little info provided in Ireland for this type of project. It is two years or more since I had taken this route to the airport. The way back from the airport to the N2 is not available as it used to be and with poor Alternative signage.

    Yeah, re-opened during the week.

    Very difficult to see what caused it to take nearly seven months. Less than 450m of widening and a new surface.

    Does anyone know who is constructing the warehouses? They're massive. I'm assuming they're warehouses.

    i'm amazed it took that long; why weren't the locals (e.g. in newtown cottages) up in arms about that? that was the slowest minor road realignment i've ever seen; for weeks on end at times, there was no work being done on the road.

    I was a bit taken aback myself over how little the junction actually changed. I was expecting a huge redesign given the length of the road closure.

    yeah, i think they worked on less than 400m of road in the end.
