Finally the contract has been signed and expected to be completed in 28 months. Great news and should have been done years ago.

Those bends were so dangerous given the amount of crashes on them

more info???

There have been two himac machines working on the section of road getting it ready for the last few months,digging out ditches etc.So there is a very good chance that it will be built quickly,as all the houses that were in the way were knocked down years ago,and the high tension ESB wires were moved.:D

Was it not reported on Wicklownews.net that those himacs were doing unrelated work?

It was related work, they were clearing the site under a separate contract in anticipation of the PPP contract being signed

No tool booths, I hear, and services area between Arklow and Gorey.

Delighted to hear it.

Work finally under way after they turned the first sod of grass yesterday
