I thought Ferns was being done as part of the enniscorthy bypass - maybe I'm wrong.

Ah jaysus, enough about the house already.

Did the N30 open today?

Fair enough... Nope on the N30.. Maybe when Leo is back off the hols..

Late July was what I was told. The senior engineers are heading to London in August for a massive project there so they need to have the road open by then.

I wonder did they send too many of the engineers off-site too early?

There was certainly a huge drop in jeeps driving about the place.

Any sign of link road being open yet?

Got the same notification, will take a spin out for a gander and let everyone know. It'll be a popular road.

Should help the Bellfield area,choc a bloc every evening.

The section from Templescoby to town was a joke for an N road. Large trucks could barely negotiate it.

Looks like it has opened..

How much quicker do think it was being the town with little traffic last 3 weeks with other part open?

Have just driven it as well. Another nice road with good open countryside. 5 1/2 minutes to drive it so it should be another good time saver.

As you say, there was a lot of traffic on it. Island Road and the quays in Enniscorthy will be very quite now.

I hope that Paul Kehoe now does something for Enniscorthy. Theres a great opportunity to develop the quays into a semi covered pedestrianised street with cafes and restaurants from the old bridge down to the Riverside with some watersports etc for families.

With a bit of effort Enniscorthy could be a great destination town in the centre of everything Co. Wexford has to offer

Couldn't agree more, so much potential, there.

Just under 5 minutes

For anyone travelling from Kilkenny, from the roundabout on the kiltealy road to the scurlocksbush roundabout is 11 minutes 20 seconds via the new roads. Not sure what it is through the town but I will be checking

More than twice that I'd imagine.

Counter intuitive to add several kilometres to the journey,but you're probably right.

I was really surprised at how busy it was. It was only open about 20 minutes when I drove it.

If people are expecting Paul Kehoe to do something......

11:30 through the town at about 8:30pm, so feck all difference when town is quiet. Although that was driving at the previous speed limit

Great to see another major bottleneck consigned to the history books. Plenty more could do with the same and soon

This is now a double solid white line instead of the above.

It's 4.45 in the YouTube clip a few posts back.

I wonder was repainting the median the minor Health and Safety issues given for the delay opening?

So the dotted line on single carriage side of the road in the pic has become a continous white line. So if you are travelling on the side of the single carriage, stuck behind one of the many slow vehicles that haunt our roads, you are not allowed overtake, even if the two lanes coming the other way are empty?

That's the jist of it, yes.
Sure, what odds?

It won't make any difference because the majority of drivers in Ireland either don't know what road markings signify or if they do, ignore them anyway.
