Knowing how Paddy does things, that would probably be the cost alright…

For an extortionate price

This phase of works was announced first day as a phase 1 that would only cover the 7km between the two interchanges. The interchanges are clearly marked on the map above. Not sure why the councillors are only realising this now (actually I do know why), but they should have been on this a lot earlier. This is the press release from the time of the announcement.

Project Overview:

The Adare Bypass Phase 1A of the overall Foynes to Limerick Road (including Adare Bypass) Project, will extend between the new interchange junctions at Adare and Croagh.

It includes:

  1. Approximately 7 km of new motorway from Croagh to Adare;
  2. Two grade-separated junctions at Adare and Croagh;
  3. Associated connections to and realignment of existing National, and Local roads;
  4. Over 200m long 3-span bridge with a central clear-span of approximately 95m over the River Maigue at Adare;
  5. Four river bridges; three signage gantries; seven overbridges/underbridges; and various accommodation underpasses, retaining walls and culverts;
  6. Extensive earthworks; various drainage works including provision of attenuation ponds and wetlands various accommodation works, side roads and accesses; and various ancillary works;
  7. Various authority and utility diversions include the diversion of electricity, phone, broadband, and water apparatus.

The Adare Bypass also includes two new railway bridges, over the Foynes to Limerick railway line currently being recommissioned. Iarnród Éireann is delivering these bridge works in conjunction with John Cradock Ltd on behalf of Limerick City and County Council.

Why it took so long, I’ve no idea. Trying to cross the main road there is a nightmare. Any busy junction like that should automatically have a roundabout.

Unless you’re trying to stalk the lovely Valerie it’s generally wise to give Charleville a miss
