N25/N30 - New Ross Bypass [open to traffic]

King Kelly

This week's local papers have the listings of CPO's for the New Ross bypass so some relief in prospect at the bridge in town.

Are their any images of the new river crossing available? I'm told it will be the highest bridge in Ireland. True? Where it's due to join the Waterford road at Glenmore is certainly a high point.

The bridge deck

Good to see a compliant colour scheme during construction.
I'd expect a purple hue to emerge halfway across the river

Pumping the concerte on the bridge deck

Anyone know why they're pumping concrete as opposed to using pre-cast?

What's the one labelled "Push pull" next to the central P4 in the above image?

Force is defined as the push or pull on object's compression and tension are the push and pull that help bridges to remain standing

Am I right in that 'push-pull' pylon in the middle is to damp out oscillation on the bridge?

Each stretch of the bridge deck is manufactured in a fixed pre fabrication area behind the abutment,each new stretch is joined to the previously built and pushed by a hydraulic system, so that the bridge deck is sliding on the piers that are previously builthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObvE4J4GOF8&sns=em

I'm also posting pics there as well after spending 33 months on the m17/ m18 project I'll be coming down here more often bringing you the best pics and updates as best as I can

Climbing formwork for concrete pouring at height with working platforms as vertical formwork support for those walls which due to their height cannot be poured at once,they suit construction of dams,towers,piers and pylonshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG7rpjU3XR8

If travelling westbound on N25 and come to Ballymacar, will I be able to join the by pass seamlessly towards Waterford or will this be a roundabout to get up on to the by pass? Same travelling eastbound ?

At grade roundabouts at both ends - Corcorans Cross & Glenmore- and at Ballymacar.

It is standard practice to end a fast road with a roundabout - a bit like a full stop. This occurs even though the planners know that the road will continue in the next phase of upgrade.

The only place that i know of where that didn't happen was when the original section of the M18 stopped at Gort...they finished at a grade separated junction...;)

Been a few where roads ended with a lane drop before upgrades - M11 before Rathnew-Arklow for one, as did the original M4.

The N4 near motorway grade DC still does.

And did as it was gradually extended towards Athlone.

Why is this practice not adopted everywhere?
