    Could be to prevent anybody dropping rocks on passing trains.

    Just throw them over it, I thought the anti suicide thing was a bit spurious too.

    I would presume its more to do with lorries possibly unshipping part of their loads and debris falling on to active railway lines?

    I always thought it was to do with steam trains and their smoke.

    Both sides of the Wexford road roundabout being used now, work on the N30 roundabout is very close to completion. She's coming to close, I won't be here the week it opens... Work trip that I can't get out of..

    I read somewhere that those blanking barriers that you see on road bridges over railways are there to comply with an old railways regulation that stemmed from the need for farmers to be able to drive livestock on the road and for the animals not to be able to see trains passing below at speed (and thus be startled).

    Or to prevent motorists from being distracted by the view of a railway line while driving ?



    All the wire roadside fences on the Heathrow perimeter roads eg. have these barriers

    Wonder if the opening has been delayed to fit in with Shane Ross, Paul Kehoe, and Michael Darcy's diaries.

    Not even a fraction of the required size. Works compound presumably

    The finish date of the 9th does that include the Enniscorthy bypass or is that considered part of the N25 works? Curious as regular traveller down to Enniscorthy and wondering if itll change my commute/travel. New road and get off at new location or wait till the n25 works are done continue as normal?

    Sorry should have been a lil more clear.
    The last plans I saw has this as a bypass east of Enniscorthy travelling further down to Wexford.
    The turn off for Enniscorthy off of this road was also to be a bypass of Enniscorthy north of the town travelling west ward...its this particular part i was curious about. Is that considered part of the N25 works or still the N11 works.

    EDIT: Aha, I think these are considered the N80 and N30?

    You got it.

    The N30 (there's no N80 part anymore, it's all N30) and M11 will open all at the same time.

    WEXFORD: A new road layout is in place on the M11 near the Clogh R/A, between Gorey and Camolin, with southbound traffic using a new roundabout until approx. Fri 19th July.

    WEXFORD: Lane closures are in place for works on the N30 outside Enniscorthy, near the Davidstown turn-off, until approx. Fri 19th July.

    WEXFORD: Lane restrictions are in place for works on the N11 north of Oilgate until approx. Fri 19th July.

    Sounds like 19th opening from those AA Roadwatch notices?

    Yes, and the 19th is more likely given that road openings usually occur on Fridays.

    It'll be open for the big Yellowbelly excursion to Croker at the end of July at least. :)

    Looking at what needs to be done I'd say it's the 19th too.
