We are aware of the public interest on this important project and we would like to thank the people, who through forums like Boards.ie and other platforms are following the progress of the works and how the construction activities are changing the landscape of the area

It is also very important to be aware that the land being developed for the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy project is not open to the public until the road is completed. There are significant dangers that could be present on a construction site, especially at this stage of the works with multiple construction crews and subcontractors on site, working on earthworks, drainage, pavement, barriers and finishing works, resulting in heavy construction trafic.
Enniscorthy ring road is ‘unlikely’ September 1978 A campaign by Councillor Andy Doyle for a byepass road of Enniscorthy that would run from Scarawalsh and via the Milehouse area, to join up with the New Ross road, has been deemed ‘unlikely to every happen’. Cllr Doyle’s alternative plan, that traffic bound for New Ross should travel from Blackstoops via Summerhill, the Duffry, Patrick Street, and Ross Road, on an ‘unofficial’ ring road route, instead of going right through the town centre and out the other side, has also been labelled ‘unworkable’. .. Mr Doyle concluded by saying that the large volume of heavy traffic was seriously undermining foundations of houses in several parts of Enniscorthy. He said he was aware of gaps in the foundation of houses in the Island Road. The Co. Manager (Mr. Noel Dillon) said there was no doubt that ‘ideally’ they could ‘ring’ or bye-pass Enniscorthy, but there was little use in spending much time talking about it now because of the sheer lack of funding. In fact, he thought it unlikely that such a plan would ever go ahead.

Just around Enniscorthy end there are new on line roundabouts which haven't started construction yet on N30 at Clohass, R702 at Milehouse, N11/N80 at Scarawalsh and on the N11 at Oylegate. I don't think the new on line roundabout to be built on the end of the existing M11 at Clogh/Frankfort has begun yet either (open to correction). Given winter and traffic management issues I wouldn't imagine they will be the quickest builds. It will be interesting to see how much can be completed in the next 6 months. Looking forward to it being completed.
