I was in town earlier and there was a Garda trying (and failing) to direct traffic at the Port/High/Main Street junction as nobody could move with cars stuck in the yellow box, total chaos with every street gridlocked. Anyway, interesting to see that they're adding a cycleway, they've done the same all along the N56 realignments in the west of the county. Is this a new standard or just going to be done on a case by case?

This is the last of the 4 safety schemes being built with VAT savings from tolls. (N2, N56, N61 & N70) Type 2 single carraigeway means that this is only a temporary measure though. We are planning dual carraigeway north of here from Derry to the NI border so this will likely become an alternative route in a few years time.

IMPROVEMENT works at one of the most “dangerous” and “busiest” junctions in County Limerick have been accelerated by councillors in the Cappamore-Kilmallock municipal district. They backed the latest stage in the process to construct a €2 million roundabout at Beary’s Cross on the N24. It connects the R513 Limerick to Mitchelstown Road with the Limerick to Tipperary Road. Tim Fitzgerald, of the Mid-West National Road Design Office, and consulting engineers - Kilgallen & Partners, gave local councillors a presentation on submissions received after it went on public consultation. It will be a four leg roundabout, north and south on the N24, the link to Mitchelstown and Murroe-Boher GAA club’s pitch.
