    So essentially just the tie ins to be done for the M11 mainline?
    I travelled to Wexford on Sunday Morning. I had to travel for a very short distance along the new mainline, the exit back to the existing N11.

    I really hope the council don't decide to cut the wild growth at the Clough roundabout - it is golden for bees I would say, in spite of the diesel and dust I'm sure they are grateful for such wild growth

    Dont see why they would, its a deliberate policy to assist bee pollination.

    Any latest news on the opening date?
    I’ve seen July, which is next month, but nothing concrete

    It's reported to be a couple of weeks ahead of schedule, around mid July.
    The tie-in between the new N30 section and the existing road at Templescoby is almost complete,ESB installing new light poles today.

    Looking at the road sign it gives the impression that there's an exit for Camolin and Ferns but the drawings for the scheme never had one??

    It's the exit to the clough roundabout and old N11

    The N11 will become the R772.

    It's a very bendy motorway , it must be very near the limit of maximum radii to maintain a 120 Kmh limit, it's certainly going to be a change from the boringly straight M 9 .

    Ferns and Camolin probably did well put of the passing trade and may end up the biggest losers.

    It's not as bendy as it looks. People said the same about the Rathnew-Arklow section near Ballinameesda.

    Carton's in Camolin is always busy with trucks stopping and having a caf on the premises is a big attraction. They'll lose out big time.
    The services further North on the M11 will be the only stop really in the region without going out of your way to get to until you hit Oylegate after coming off the motorway if you are headed south.

    Yeah, and likewise with other projects, I think the camera lense distorts the curvature.

    I remember the posts about the work at Newlands Cross: "How will they fit a Dual Carriageway on that?"

    How had Howlin timed it well? He's not in government and has no say over when the election will be or when these roads will open.

    It's the minister of the day that gets the photo op and takes the glory.

    Have heard that an independent TD in Tipp - who is an honest taxpayer - was a dab hand at turning up at just the right moment for the photo opp for the M8 etc.

    Shane 'Stepaside' Ross is Katie's new BFF.

    .....wouldn't be too surprised to see all and sundry at this.

    They're all 'pho-ho's'!!

    You can be sure all tds and councillors, whether involved or not, will get their big fat heads in.

    Happy these two fuel stations in camolin will be affected - purely on the basis the two stations have been running a “cartel” on fuel prices for as long as I can remember. Zero competition among them and always more expensive than elsewhere on the N11

    Which was strange because Applegreen just up the road in Ferns was always competitive

    Key question is - when will that be?

    Hopefully it is opened to the public long before the photo shoot 😂
