Animation of the M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy Project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- For general information purposes only. It is not intended as an exact prediction of the out-turned works. This project will increase the safety and capacity of the N28 Corridor, in addition to improving the connectivity between Cork City, the surrounding areas and international markets. The project supports the strategic development of the Port at Ringaskiddy and aids the economic development of the Strategic Development Zone of Ringaskiddy and the commuter town of Carrigaline. The project will reduce traffic volumes on the existing N28, with measures included to reduce the noise pollution and environmental impacts on nearby residential areas.
Fantastic work. Cork is growing so much, we'll have the ringaskiddy motorway, the macroom bypass done and hopefully we can get the cork to limerick sorted. All we need now is the Middleton to youghal sorted and some route to connect the ballincollig bypass onto the cork to limerick motorway and cork will be flying.
Midleton to Youghal shold have been done by reactivating the existing railway. HGVs make a small percentage on that stretch, most are cars, commuting to/from work. The railway would have solved that quickly, cheaply and efficiently.
This is going to slay, can't wait for it to open in 2050!!
I think this scheme is immune from all this woke green policy of 'Climate Action' - whatever that is!
The M21/N69 and M20 might not be so lucky - in any case, I don't think this global wokeness will last much longer - thank God for that!
2030
M28 - Bring it on!!!
Very good can't wait fot the North Ring Motorway animation (as if👎)
Removing the slip road from Maryborough Ridge/Lisadell area down to the M28 will be a killer. All these people will start going through Douglas or Maryborough Woods to get onto the link. I don't understand why it can't be kept.
Absolutely ridiculous isn't it? 🤦🏻♀️
But people will be able to get on the M28 by taking the new road just across from the slip. Surely that will be quicker than going through Douglas no?
@@adiboo8142 I thought that only goes to Ringaskiddy. I was talking about the slip road into Cork
@@Boburto No, if you have a look again, that road leads down to the Carr's Hill Interchange where big roundabouts will be. From there, you can either Northbound to Cork or Southbound to Ringaskiddy/Carrigaline. Bit longer to get onto the M28 from Maryborough Hill than it is now, but still not too bad
Nice 👍
A lot of those trees are gone already.I also was under the impression Raffeen Quarry was going to be a nature reserve..how if there is a road going through it?
Ringaskiddy will be the cats whiskers once the Motorway goes in; and when the railway goes in there's no doubt - it's gonna be one of the premier ports on the island. *>`Wait!‘
This showed the N28, not the planned M28?
Where is the light rail running parallel to the road common sense please ???
Is this the Hardware Unboxed theme tune?
Twill be a mighty road
A pity you had to rip up practically every vestige of the trees and vegetation along the N28. Ironically there is a bronze statue which was once surrounded by trees and is now in the middle of a totally leveled landscape with all greenery removed.
The statue has a plaque attached and it says:
"This figure holds his arms aloft holding birds in his hands. He represents our concern for and the desire to nurture our natural environment . Cad a Dhainfaimid feast gan adhmaid.?"
And how are animals going to cross this motorway? Is there any provision for crossing points for them? I used to travel on the N28 every day to work. Anytime I have to go in that direction I now go by a different route as it saddens me to see that woodland destroyed.
When will the project actually start?
It already has. On the city part of the road, the Maryborough Hill Link Road has started. On the county part, archaeology has started in the fields
Main contract is penciled in for 2024.
@@RedKnight-fn6jr Yes but if the Green Party enter a new coalition in 2025 after next election it's possible to keep Sinn Fein out of power it might start in 2025 or 2030
@@RedKnight-fn6jrMore like 2025 or 2026
@@boohoo79 Unlike basically every other large infrastructure projects in Ireland this should be completed on time and within budget. We've gotten good at delivering new motorway builds over the last 10-15 years due to the build-out of the national motorway network. I expect the same here.
Car is King
Fingers crossed that it comes to fruition. Just keep the Greens and Sinn Fein a million miles from the project.
Green Party will not like this video Eamon Ryan will probably ask for it to be taken down and replaced by an extended Cork Bike Scheme sponsored by some wind power company EDF or something 🙄
In fairness to Ryan his department signed off on the funding for the M28 last year.
@@mlc4495Yeah under pressure just some enabling works a 16 million euro package ,removing hedgerows and archaeology
Not going to be a motorway
Bloomfield to Carrs Hill might not be, but I think the rest will be motorway.
In any case, it's only a matter of time before the CSRR becomes the M40 - especially when the greens are gone!
@@RedKnight-fn6jr no it's going to be dual I seen the tender wills bros got the job
@@patryan4445 Wills Bros got the job to remove vegetation and utilities only, the main part of the project wont start until 2024 or 2025
It's given the M designation meaning it will be to motorway standards.
Grotesque. More roads for nothing.
Stupid comment we need more roads to hell with the Green Party more roads and electric cars
Lovely Road! Bring it on!!!
It's hardly for nothing - the existing road isn't suitable for the amount of heavy traffic from the port. This would make it safer and faster for everyone in the area.
The place is a nightmare with traffic jams and the amount of trucks is ridiculous
stupid comment
Overdue about 20 years 45k people having an a road as their main access way that’s shared with HGVs and rigaskiddy/Shanbally commuters was ridiculous. One cyclist on the n28 and your stuck in heavy traffic for 20 mins
...and yet, it's the cyclists who pay nothing towards the roads - build the M28, M20 and M21!!!
It is in the planning since 2001. Whatever inconvenience you may have endured, it is nothing compared to that of the home/land owners on the path of the route options. They have had 20+ years of uncertainty and their assets effectively frozen. Many are still a long way off from receiving any form of compensation.
@@RedKnight-fn6jr we all pay for the roads through general taxation.
@@eddmelter1012 We all pay general taxation - that doesn't mean I drive for free or even just walk for free (extortionate rents for being within walking distance of everything) - why should cyclists be different to everyone else?
@@RedKnight-fn6jr Your original comment said cyclists pay nothing towards roads and that is wrong. you even said it yourself when you said we all pay tax. Please explain how how cyclists are different to other road users when it comes to " paying nothing towards the roads". I wasent aware of a special fund that motorists pay for new road projects or upkeep.
