As soon as i get a chance. Plently of work going on in the last week. Ditches are being cleared along the route and theres an enormous pile of pencil at the Listowel road entrance. Also a couple of big bulldosers there ready to push stuff around.

I passed the ballybeagen road a few days ago. are they widing the river or something because there was a diger on the river bank there?. Must also be a lot of work done now where the site offices are They also had pipes on the river bank at ballybeagan

The dual carriageway will be from ballycarthy to the Listowel rd, everywhere else will be single afaik.

stevielenihan · 30-09-2011 9:10pm

Why is one part dual carrigway and the other single carrigway? Can they not be the same on all the road?

Because the dual carriageway will be the most used part of the road, Castleisland is the same, the lower section from the Tralee rd to the Faranfore rd is single carriageway.

I understood the entire length of the Listowel Road (N69) to Killorglin Road (N70) bypass section was going to be DC as they said this will be approx 8kms long (which roughly seems to equate to that distance) whereas the 5 km SC part would be the N22 from the bypass to the existing N22 Killarney Road beyond Ballycarthy. I could be mistaken though.

stevielenihan · 03-10-2011 5:07pm

Great pictures. your right ongargboy the whole bypass will be dc and there link to killarney road be sc. I passed ballinorig today about 4 diggers there had a nice bit dug there

carchaeologist · 03-10-2011 8:15pm

I stand corrected on the carriageway length so, apologies!

Great pictures. I passed the balllybeagan road today there was a digger there and a bulldozer they have a lot of mud removed there. I also passed the ballynorig road and there is 6 diggers there and they had a lot dug there and it seems that they were working on the bypass railway crossing as well

stevielenihan · 10-10-2011 6:27pm

I passed the Ballybeagan road today there was a dump loader there. And they were digging up the side roads as there was 3 diggers where the sode roads will be

lots of action on the N69 and N21 sides, not so much in the middle parts of the bypass.

stevielenihan · 08-11-2011 10:37pm

how much work is done on the N69 and N21 part of it~?

On the N21, visible from the road is alot of ground clearance going on and large rocks being brought in.
On the N69 side theres enormous piles of earth beside the road with a site entrance between them, im not sure if they have started laying out the roundabout here yet, which will be built off the existing road i reckon.
Road sweeepers are constantly cleaning the road.

They have cleared most of the ditches on the right hand side of the road up from the forge cross and work has began on re routing the ESB, there was no power in the Ballybreanagh area yesterday. ESB were still around today. I will try and get photos next week of all this.

carchaeologist · 14-11-2011 9:31pm

I had a spare 20 mins this afternoon so i took some pictures of the junction above the Forge cross and between the two college entrances before it all gets changed around. The are not great resolution i know, but they are good enough for here i hope.

And looking just to the right of the above picture, the new road can be seen clearly marked out.

Looking down the ballybeggan road, the new post and rail fencing can clearly be seen showing the proposed width of the new road.

And one more shot looking down towards Forge cross from the bend of junction. The ditches have been cleared as can be seen all along here

Most of the action is still on the N69 and N22 sides of the project, apart from site clearance work in between.
Ill keep taking pictures as much as i can.

stevielenihan · 15-11-2011 6:52pm

Great pictures. What will the part of the road in the phots you took there at forge cross and between the two college entrances be build as dual carrigeway or single carrigeway?

Single i reckon. Its not part of the main bypass. Theres no need of it being double up there.
