If Wills had walked off the N5 job 6 weeks ago, as claimed in the N5 thread, wouldn't we have heard something about it by now other than rumours on boards.ie?
Yes, we would have heard about it on the evening news: the contracting council would have had them in court for breach of contract.
I suspect that Wills may be on a go-slow to see if they can ride out the current spike in input costs. If there’s heavy plant work that can be deferred, it’ll be deferred, but as long as they complete the project at the agreed date, the sequencing doesn’t matter so much - actually, even a late penalty might work out better if fuel prices drop in the second half of the year.
No its the other way around, the tenderer makes the offer and the contracting authority accepts it. The Preferred Tenderer will first get a Letter of Intent from the contracting authority, if the contracting authority is satisfied with everything coming from that, they then issue a Letter of Acceptance and that forms the contract.
Did they haveva fight with BAM?
Hopefully they will do The slane to M1 section
Bad stretch of road that, alright. I dare say they'll not be touching that part for years, though.
I would say North Meath has some of the worst sections on National Secondary in the country such as the N51 Navan to Westmeath and N52 Kells to Louth
The tender has gone out for the long awaited N16 - Sligo - Manorhamilton realignment in North Sligo. 2.5KM of realignment works to replace some very bad bends.
Tender n16 lugatober (drumkilsellagh to-4374717 (biddingsource.com)
N16 Lugatober (Drumkilsellagh to Lugnagall) Road Development – sligoprojectoffice.ie
Closing date for submissions May 20th.
Tender has also been issued for the N60 Heathlawn realignment. 3.6km of type 2 single carriageway between Castlebar and Claremorris. Tender value €10.5m and contract duration is 21 months.
The Connaught telegraph also has a short piece on it -
Latteragh bends , tender expected by end of 2022 . Construction hoping to start Q1 2023
Which road is this?
R498 Latteragh realignment. Between Nenagh and Borrisoleigh
R498 between Borrisoleigh and Nenagh , I think it's on the Nenagh side of Kellys of fantane
Not familiar with that bit of road. Thanks.
CPOs received today in the post by registered mail by land owners on the N17 Milltown to Gortnagunned realignment scheme
Narrow Water Bridge back in the tender list again.
I don't fully understand this, has ABP already approved the CPO? I thought it was only submitted very recently
Case is due to be decided by 22/06/2022, according to ABP website.
Good. This will be a comparatively cheap and very useful one this. Needs to be built.
As long as it doesn't become a de-facto Newry southern bypass.
Yes CPO approved and issued. I believe the full planning approval is due late June and this is the environmental aspect.
Latest on minor schemes in Mayo:
N60 Manulla Scheme is at route option phase with preferred route to be identified in Q4 2022.
Strategic Assessment Report submitted to TII for N26 Mount Falcon to Foxford.
Strategic Assessment Report has commenced for the N58 Foxford By- Pass.
The latter two are clearly the next two projects that Mayo Co Co wants to get funded - the N26 one is needed but the Foxford bypass isn't. A bypass for Ballinrobe on the N84 should be a much higher priority in my view.
Big progress update here on 10 new road schemes currently in planning in Mayo.
Highlights are that a contractor is expected on site for the N60 Heathlawn scheme by September and a 5km section of the N59 Newport to Mulranny road is to go to tender before the end of the year.
Was there not plans for a totally new road between Balla and Claremorris which was routed through Mayo Abbey? I'm sure I saw something about that before?
Has the tender being pulled on the N16 Lugatober
An impressive list to be sure. Mayo is finally getting its road infrastructure in place.
the (i think) L3120 between kilshane cross and the western end of the runway at dublin airport has been one way since i think Jan 4th - initiated by works to facilitate the construction of a logistics park at kilshane cross. however, the road works which could have been done in several weeks still aren't finished; anyone know why they'd be allowed drag the work and westbound road closure on for so long? the road itself has been finished for weeks now, and i don't understand why the locals aren't making more of a fuss - there's at least one narrow lane being used as a rat run now (the one past the castle which was used in braveheart).
If that's the same scheme I'm thinking of, then it has just been completed. Passed by there the other day, and it's Type 3 SC, just past the school. Looks brand new.
N16 Lugatober was retendered, not sure why but the new tender is up on etenders
Ah, ok, it must've been a different scheme I drove along. Possibly Diffreen/Gortnagregory, if that sounds right?
I seen this section cancelled on etenders two weeks ago and the re advertised the following day
Very strange, that. I was wondering why the new bit was Type 3 single, as it connects to Type 2 single, which itself connects to Type 1 single, but then again, the newest bit is outside a school, so I guess it makes sense to have a segregated footpath/cyclepath there for the children.
