Take the end of the current M11 at Clogh roundabout, people thought the same about Camolin, yes, it's slow through there, but it's a village, but IME traffic is always flowing and never really a problem - I've been down there at all times of the day and on different days, never really a problem. Same will happen through Oilgate/Oylegate imo. The Gorey by-pass is almost empty most of the time, and so will the Enniscorthy by pass be. The big win will be the removal of Enniscorthy from the main road.

With that theres a huge increase in people moving to Gorey, the amount of houses being built is insane, however with the price of property in Dublin this makes sense for people to move to and still be in relative easy distance of dublin. With the new motorway I have no doubt that this will open the rest of wexford to commuters.

The Spider wrote: » Don't think it's just the N11, Dublin is grinding to a halt, that's the problem when you base the entire country's business in one area. However theoretically you would think that companies would move further south to take advantage of the commuters, soon it might be a moot point as more and more companies offer remote work because they have no choice if they want staff, either that or pay them the insane cost of living wage in Dublin.

Dublin's main problem is that it's infrastructure is not growing at a sufficent rate to keep up with economic growth and population growth. The fact that Metro North and DART Underground are still not close to being built despite being in the plans for ridiculously long periods of time (is it 1972 in the case of DART Underground) is an example of this. Transport21 sought to rectify this to an extent but we are now 14 years on from Transport21 and the major ideas (or their reincarnations) don't even have planning permission. The increase of commuting from Wexford even with the M11/M50 problems is frightening.

Speaking of the link road, tarring is flying along with convoys of tar trucks moving along it. Railings are almost complete on the Slaney bridge too.

The new Centra/Filling station is already open and was told there's plans for a McDonald's there too. Land near the Finchogue interchange is also under the ownership of developers too although objections are holding up one development of "luxury homes".
