    I'm not getting hung up on which ever thread was here first, the point still stands that A thread should be stickied at the top so that queries regarding opening dates can be checked more easily and appropriately redirected

    fresca, just took your post and edited the predicted openings in crono order and broke the M50 into 2 dates as there's 2 major junction upgrades left on that still.

    You can take this into your own post if you wish and I'll delete mine.

    Does anyone have a map showing the roads completed to date, those due to finish this year and planned schemes? Trying to find one but can't.

    Any idea how many kms of motorway/HQDC will be built by year's end?

    Check out http://www.openstreetmap.org/ it maps the irish motorways and is updated pretty quickly once a route comes online.
    For some schemes in progress the routes are mapped (dotted lines) - but you have to zoom in for these.
    Also, check out the nra site for documentation on km's of mtorway/hqdc.

    Here's the charts for north & south respectively.

    Note that it doesn't include U/C or planned schemes, and counts reclassified schemes as new builds. Might use the table function to create a more accurate graph at some stage (i.e. there should be a drop in DC during the motor reclassification years)

    Limerick Tunnel won't be open by May according to the contractors - it'll be finished by then, but safety checks will take several weeks.

    There's talk of a May 17 opening for the M3 over on the M3 thread. There's a charity cycle event planned for Sunday 16th of May on the route so it sounds like an opening on Monday the 17th. No further confirmation yet on that date and thats only speculation based on the timing of these types of events on other motorway sections.

    Gort - Crusheen is looking more and more likely to be before Galway Races 2010. That starts on July 26th, so presumably the week before.

    So what about 2011 or 2012 openings? Once the list of roads above are opened, what's left? All the interurbans will be done. It looks like there will be a major drop in road building and investment, which is understandable considering the lack of funds but there must be some stuff still going on.
    Are any of these likely to happen?

    N11 upgrades
    Newlands Cross Interchange - badly needed
    Galway Outer Bypass (please please)
    M7 Naas by-pass to 3 lanes
    M18/M17 and Tuam Claregalway bypasses
    M20
    N4 Mullingar to Sligo
    Are there any other smaller schemes under way or due to start soon.

    N11 upgrades - PPPs starting next few years
    Newlands Cross Interchange - badly needed - PPPs starting next few years
    Galway Outer Bypass (please please) - Stuck in the courts, five years minimum before it starts
    M7 Naas by-pass to 3 lanes - Forget about it for the next 5-6 years
    M18/M17 and Tuam Claregalway bypasses - Hopefully Q1 2011 start
    M20 - 2012 or 2013 start[/b]
    N4 Mullingar to Sligo - Absolutely forget about it
    Are there any other smaller schemes under way or due to start soon. No :(

    The above summary is largely on point - though I'd say the M20 will be more like 2014 before you see any work.

    But I'm still convinced that a handful of minor single carriageway bypasses will probably start each year, funded out of the regular budget (i.e., not PPP). Lots are ready to go.

    Have to say that the Newlands Cross Underpass/Overpass is one of the schemes recession or not that should be preceded with passing down that way last week at rush hour??? I was quite amazed at the back up of traffic as far south as St John’s Rd. What a pain for motorist who have enjoyed such a great drive from Waterford or Cork to the Capital to find this holdup before getting onto the superb M50. This project as the last part of the IU jigsaw must be a priority.
    Seeing the difference that the junction changes have made in between Lucan and the M50 to traffic on the M/N4, can't understand how this isn't a fairly high priority project

    ^^

    Gort-Crusheen will not open in June. I reckon late August to early September is a more realistic date.

    Does this mean so that the M7 will start in Borris-in-Ossory so this coming Friday and you won't have to drive through Mountrath anymore to get to Dublin??

    Any ideas when it will join up with the Nenagh motorway (excluding the bog part after Birdhill).

    You won't have to drive through Mountrath or Borris-in-Ossory.

    It will be Oct at least before Castletown to Nenagh is open.
    See that thread for more info...

    the latest from clare people

    "he operators of the Shannon tunnel say its opening was not delayed because of the unavailability of Transport Minister Noel Dempsey to perform the ceremony in Limerick yesterday. It was expected that the new €660 road linking Clare to the new M7 motorway would be open for traffic this week-end but this has been delayed for at least a week. According to Tom King of Direct Route, who will operate the tunnel for the next 31 years, the opening was not delayed to facilitate government ministers. "This is the first tunnel to go through the very strict safety regulations now in place and I'm confident this should be completed early next week. In all likelihood, we are looking at opening it on Friday of next week", he said.
