M11/N30 - Gorey to Enniscorthy [open to traffic]

I thought Ferns was being done as part of the enniscorthy bypass - maybe I'm wrong.

Really? Maybe you should take a visit to the site in question, work was stopped for three days on two bridges in December because workers were working without harnesses, I was only wanting to take a few pictures. When the moyne overpass was completed I parked on the public road and walked back to take a few pics to put up on here and Mr bulldog in his little van tried to stop me, I wasn't anywhere near the works.
P.S. I'm not a child...

I was just pointing out that the works area is essentially private property until its handed over upon completion. Yes, i admit that they are prettty extreme about keeping members of the public out but at the end of the day, thats the way that particular site management team seem to want to address the public access to the site. Other sites have different approaches, what can you do?

PS...no-one called you a child, that text is a quote from the contractors website via the link in my post.

A huge amount of the project is really hard to access from public roads as it's nestled in farmland. Unless you know where you are going and prepared to treck across fields where you most likely won't be welcome by the farmer and only right then getting decent pictures is extremely hard. As a result a lot of what we see posted is of progress on the same structures and stretches of road.

I tried to get pics of the ballydawmore interchange, it's where the link road and the M11 meet, I couldn't even find it never mind photograph it!! Whatever about the N30 link road, it's practically impossible to get even close to the M11.

The refusal of the contractors to let anyone remotely near the N11 site, plus a bare faced refusal to put up regular updates is frankly insulting and patronising to the public. In fact I intend to lodge a complaint with TII/Wex CC or whoever is involved.

It just isn't bloody good enough!

Utter shame on them!!:mad:

The contrast with the M17/18 or even the N25 New Ross bypass could not be more stark.

I'll save you the bother by telling you the response. "Thank you for your submission and interest. The <INSERT_PERSON_HERE> would like to thank you for your submission and will consider the content enclosed. Regards, Wexford County Council".

I know how to get near to it but getting a vantage point for pics is nigh on impossible.
Convoys of trucks drawing to it for the past week or more.

M17 - great pics from the website. Thanks for sharing!

What is the purpose of the chambers under the roadway in the bottom two pictures? Flooding?

It's at Solsborogh. It's the link road from Scarawalsh to the M11.

Yeah,that whole area can end up under water in big floods. It flooded about 4 months ago.

I presume they'll get a few weeks ahead of schedule in this excellent dry weather. Although I'd say they're going through some amount of extra air filters on all the machines with the dust.

Didn't spot the new bridge in the distance until today.

Must be a cattle pass or something.

I'd reckon so, there's a large farm split by that section of road.
The line of trucks there starts at about 7am and keeps going all day,non stop until 9pm.

This scheme is clearly visible on satellite with the dry weather at the moment.

Credit to poster on reddit, the N25 scheme also visible in the bottom left of the full image

Even before the dry weather the scheme was still fairly visible

Here's a fun slider, shamelessly robbed from another forum

Came across this website earlier, it has up to date zoomable satellite imagery for the whole country so a nice way to see progress on the road schemes around the country.

I would have thought they are making very good progress, so could be ahead of this date..

I'm not on the ground, but from the pictures some parts look almost finished while others are barely excavated.
Shades of the M17/M18 when it was one year from completion ?

The council are pushing for a continuation of the road at least.

This article says "the Gorey to Enniscorthy bypass road is ready to open in the coming weeks".

Didn't look that near completion at all last time I was out that side. Are they opening it in sections? Hardly.

Passed the area around clogh where the m11 will link up with the bypass and doesn’t look likely at all for “coming weeks”
