    Some very minor works about km south of clonmellon on the N52 looks like WCC are doing some road widening works

    Whereabouts on the road are they working? Are they widening the surface / straightening a bend or just opening up the sightlines through a bend?

    Always good to see a bit of work on this route.

    They’re working over I'd say a 200 meter stretch going south about 1km outside clonmellon. They have removed all the hedge and are building up an embankment but with the type of material that I see them rolling I can't be certain if it is for a lane as it didn't look like great fill. Maybe they plan to put in a barrier, I never even realised there was a big drop until the hedge was gone. WCC have their own men and plant on site by the looks of things

    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.
    Source.

    Here's an image of the roundabout design:

    Looks as if the N60 Oran realignment is finally getting underway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18 Freddypaccman


    According to the Cavan County Council website the N55 realignment will be complete by October 2018. there is a reduced speed limit on the road now and there will be traffic lights from tomorrow (Monday) just south of Ballinagh for 4 weeks which I think is for the scheme.

    N77 Kilkenny Ballyragget-Ballynaslee 110,000 Planning

    First I've ever heard of this scheme? This wouldn't be the worst section of the N77 Portlaoise-Kilkenny road, it's the part passing the Glanbia factory.
    I'd have thought the sections between Kilkenny and Ballyragget far worse and in need of a major upgrade first?

    This is a new scheme and only starting off now. I'm guessing it'll connect the N77 Ballynaslee realignment and Ballyragget itself.

    Indeed. There is scope for improvement (pavement and widening). That must be the logic, connect the new scheme with the rest.

    I think this is just a signs/lines and resurfacing scheme which makes sense.

    Quite a lot of work underway on this now with very visible earthworks at the Milltown end of the scheme, and also at the Killorglin side near the Golf Club road turn off.

    Scheme is entirely offline so not very visible to motorists for a while yet and no disruption until they start on the tie ins.

    Main contractor awarded for N56 Coolboy to Kilmacrennan, outside Letterkenny. Up to now site prep and topsoil strip were taking place so this looks like the start of main works.

    Drove both N63 Abbeyknockmoy and N61 Coolteige today. AKM looking well, mostly done and a welcome improvement. Have to say that most of the N63 to Roscommon is sh*te altogether and many changes are needed.

    Couldn't see much of N61 as it's offline. Only construction signs at the northern end.

    Totally agree on the N63 (in fact we were talking about this on SSC at the weekend). Next up on the N63 is a few km east of Abbeyknockmoy which will take out the bridge over the River Abbert which is a joke.

    Hi Marno21,

    Any idea of when the next Abbeyknockmoy works will start? I'd heard about the plans locally but wasn't sure if they were legit.

    Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,023 ✭✭✭Donegal Storm


    I was up around Letterkenny a couple of months ago and there looked to be topsoil stripping and clearance work already underway, how is the tender only being awarded now? Are the main works under a different contract?

    Scheme is at preliminary design stage, so will only be at route selection and design state in 2018. I'd imagine 2021 will be the earliest for a start on the scheme.

    Painfully slow, but the Minister has confirmed that he has no interest in proceeding with these schemes even though they are part of the 2013-2020 Road Safety Strategy and are being heavily pushed by the RSA, TII, and the local authorities involved. NINE schemes will start in 2018, there are 62 active at present and at least 40 others being pursued by local authorities with no funding.

    Hi all,

    Does anyone have an update on the N63 works outside Abbeyknockmoy?

    Works looked like they stopped there for a while and there isn't much progress on a weekly basis.

    Is there a finish date that they are working to?

    Thanks
