Enniscorthy Bypass

bazzer06 · 2006-04-21 01:44:29

This is an issue that doesn't seem to be getting enough attention imo. Why is the Enniscorthy bypass only planned to be wide two lane and not dual carriageway? After all, it is a euroroute, and i think population trends will definitely justify it in the near future.

A Chara
We are currently engaged in fencing and archaology for this project although
site clearance has been more or less completed we do not have a commencement date for the main contract.

You get the impression that WCC are doing just about everything they can in anticipation of the funding being forthcoming!

I guess traffic coming from Dublin going to Enniscorthy turns off the roundabout down the n30, then exits the next roundabout.

Otherwise 5 exits on a roundabout is too much for most Irish drivers!!

They will have had authorisation to do this. The farmers get a fee for allowing the archaeology to go ahead early.

Yeah, same here Mike, cheers Victor!

The realignments of the N9/N24 as part of the Waterford Bypass are really hard to make out. I remember ages ago there were detailed maps/models available online which showed how the N9 will tie into the N24/N25 but can't find them now. Does anyone remember how it's gonna be done? Will there be a freeflowing junction between N9 and N25, if not, it would seem shortsighted not to freeflow two HQDCs like that.

I remember going to see Aslan there about 4 years ago! "Exotis" nightclub - how very optimistic of them!

Thanks for pointing me to that Victor. That's exactly the thing I had in mind. It seems a bit short sighted however to use a single-stacked roundabout to form the junction of the N9/N24 and the N25. It's a greenfield site afterall so why isn't there a freeflow solution planned. Then there's an at-grade roundabout forming the junction of the N9 and N24, full freeflowing wouldn't be required here at all but the junction should be grade separated with the N9 having priority. I might be being a bit pedantic here but if you're gonna link two national primary HQDC's they should be freeflowed together.

With the N9 reaching its terminus near this point, surely the prioirty must lie with the N24 (in the absence of a freeflow junction) as most of the traffic after this point will be heading for New Ross/Wexford/Rosslare. Many N9 commuters could be splitting off in both directions here. The N9/24 for me seems a better choice for full flow separation, but neither would i object if both were made freeflow (which would of course make any future upgrade to motorway a lot easier - which i susoect may be a plan).

Yeah, that's a shocking junction priority that one. So easy to change too!

re ferns from people newspapers...

IT'S high time the people of Ferns had some idea which side of the village any new bypass would go.
Cllr. Declan McPartlin said the development of Ferns was being held up because no-one knew the likely route.

Councillors were told that the Regional Design Office was examining the situation at Ferns, but no timeframe was put on when a possible route might be charted.

Heard today that tenders for the Enniscorthy bypass will go out spring/summer next year with work due to commence about 12 months later...:)

I know it will start at Clough but anyone got a map of the propsed route?

Does anyone know what the spec of the new Enniscorthy bypass will be? Will it be a dual carriageway, a 2+2 or just a S2?
