Minister Paul Kehoe has expressed his delight that the Official Sod turning of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy Scheme has taken place this Friday, 16th of October in Templescoby, Enniscorthy.
“This is a project that has been a priority campaign for me since 2002 and I am delighted to see it come to fruition. Not only will the new road significantly reduce the travel times between Enniscorthy and Dublin but it will go a long way toward alleviating traffic congestion in the town.
“This is a momentous day for Enniscorthy, as the easing of congestion will make the town a much more attractive prospect for shoppers, which in turn will have a significant impact for the businesses in the town centre.
The ceremony, held on Friday will be the starting point for the scheme that will link Enniscorthy directly to Dublin by motorway,
The route of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy PPP Scheme is to the east of Enniscorthy, extending from the Southern end of the Gorey Bypass at Clogh to a new junction at Scurlocksbush, approximately 1.5km to the north of Oilgate. This section of the scheme will be 27km of new motorway.
The scheme also includes 8km of new single carriageway, to the west of Enniscorthy, linking from the existing Scarawalsh Roundabout to Templescoby on the N30. In addition a further 4 km of new dual carriageway will link those two sections. The link will commence at a new grade separated junction at Ballydawmore and extend across the Slaney Valley to the Scarawalsh Junction.
