Hopefully they will progress the full N3 scheme through planning even if only the Virginia bypass part will be actually built before 2027, saving having to rip up some of it to integrate it into a more complete N3 scheme further down the road (this applies to all schemes being progressed).

That map btw is next to useless , just two blue lines running around the top of Virginia . No beginning or end. Can anyone tell me what causes those tailbacks every evening going into Virginia. It was back past the big milk plant one day recently and I was at the very back. Is it those new traffic lights they installed recently or is it the pedestrian crossing in the middle of the villiage ?
roadmaster wrote: » Yip whitegate is the filling station just after where the dual carriageway ends. The traffic issues in virginia seam to be loads of small issues combined to one big one. 1. The Right turn for bailebourgh coming from dublin 2. The turn in the middle of the village for the secondary school 3. Its a working town so on street parking causes delays with the people pulling in and out 4. The pedestrain lights as you mentioned 5. The turn for ballyjamesduff, you have people turning hear for Aldi and supervalu Then just the sheer volume of traffic

One or two may slip but these things happen. Given that the Macroom bypass has been tendered already I would be confident of it starting in Q3 2019 or so. N4 scheme in Sligo is a similar sized scheme which went to tender late last year and is expected to be awarded in September.

The only work potentially to be done on the N25 between now and 2027 is Carrigtwohill-Middleton, Waterford-Glenmore and Wexford-Rosslare along with the obvious New Ross bypass Midleton-Youghal, Dungarvan and New Ross-Wexford remain in the freezer.
