N25/N30 - New Ross Bypass [open to traffic]

Surprised at the small barrier between carriages.

Some photos of the new bypass. The roundabouts are open at the N30 to Enniscorthy, N25 to Wexford and N25 to Waterford at Glenmore. These photos were taken mostly between Ballymacar (N25 to Wexford) and the R733.

The direction sign on the last photo says 'Next exit 2km' (which would be at Camblin, R733) with destinations of Arthurstown, New Ross and 'Port'.

Also the road between Ballymacar N25 and the N30 at the Tramps Heartbreak appears to be dual carriageway. I had thought this was only to be single carriageway (I was obviously wrong but it's a pleasant surprise).

Looks like there is still a good bit of surfacing works left on the New Ross side.

I don't see how a suspension bridge in China is in any way relevant to the extradosed N25 bridge. They are completely different bridge types.

Unless of course it is BAM constructing it then it could be said to be relevant. Doubt it is BAM though.

Here's a project they are doing in China

Open to correction but I thought m17 and insta_mavic were one and the same?

m17 is not associated with insta_mavic. There are plenty of photographs on here with the insta_mavic watermark removed and no credit given. Link to all original photographs and dates they were taken in the link below.

I reckon avoiding New Ross will save 10 mins.

At off-peak times I'd say 10 mins is about right. Peak times would be 20 - 30 I'd say.

Youghal bridge next please, thats gonna be my next pet project!

There are great views available now of this project on Google Maps (Satellite) - including junctions.

Not being smart, but zero saving on that route at non-peak times.

The new roundabout on the Wexford side was in use this evening.

There are lots of pictures and videos of the bridge on the insta_mavic Facebook page and YouTube page. Some have been posted here with the watermark cropped off. Credit should be given to the photographers of all photographs.

Looks like they have the first cables installed from the video M17 posted, good to see!

There's a small section of new road NE of New Ross, and it includes a new Roundabout. Unfortunately, any small gain is offset by the awful roadworks at the junction of the N30/R700.

I know they're necessary, and I hope they're completed soon!

Really impressive!
