So, on Dungloe to Cloghbolie on Thursday - from pretty much everything except one offline section is done or near done. Section at the lake had absolutely nobody working on it but still unfinished / stop-go in place.
Between Glenties and Maas is still hugely disrupted and its hard to see what's been done in five months!
Yes, so the red traffic patch just outside Dungloe town is the slowest part on that section of roadworks at the moment, there is 4 roads there with traffic lights (2 on the main road and both minor roads) there at the moment
Bit frustrating how incredibly long the whole Dungloe-Glenties project will take. Considering that many other parts of the N56 need the same treatment.
We'd be decades doing it all at this rate.
Trips on Thursday. I'll give myself plenty of time
One bad dark red traffic patch showing on Google Maps right now; and another at the lake outside Dungloe.
Sorry for the slow reply.
Currently, the section between Glenties and Maas is at a much earlier stage of construction so driving through it can be slow.
I've to head up in a week or so, and got badly caught for time last time by those lights, so that's handy
Anyone know how bad the section between Glenties and Maas is these days?
Been a while since there's been a post here.
The Dungloe to Cloghbolie section of this scheme is coming along very well recently.
About 3km (out of 7km) of this is now completed with final surfacing and lines.
The longest traffic light on this section at the Doochary junction has now been removed. 3 temporary traffic lights remain on this.
The remaining parts look like they are coming along well too

D-C has some sections that are basically done albeit probably need a wearing course - road is on new alignment, old alignment or new cycle track is set up - but other sections where it looks like they're still blasting and lots of heavy stone works ongoing. L-K is nowhere near as advanced yet obviously. A lot of the stop-go systems have you driivng on the future cycle track I think.

They're making good progress with the Dungloe - Leitermacaward section, as well as the big works underway near Dungloe there's another mostly offline section U/C south of the R252 with noticeable progress every time I've passed. With lockdown v2 though I doubt I'll be out that way this side of Christmas again now
