Enniscorthy Bypass in a nutshell the enniscorthy Bypass (officially known as the m11 gorey to enniscorthy PPP scheme) will allow motorists to bypass the town of enniscorthy. It is hoped that the new bypass, being built by a consortium called BAM-IridiumPGGM at a cost of €400m approx, will ease traffic congestion in the town and reduce the time it takes to travel from Wexford to Dublin. It is expected to be completed by 2018/early
2019 and will employ between 250-300 people during construction. the bypass will consist of two distinct parts: – A 27km motorway that will run to the east of Enniscorthy. This motorway will connect the N11 road between Wexford Town and Enniscorthy with the M11 motorway. – 8km single carriageway that will run towards the
west, connecting the new motorway with the N30 road between New Ross and Enniscorthy. motorWAy This part of the bypass will start roughly 2km north of Oylegate; at a new roundabout called Scurlocksbush Roundabout. This roundabout will connect the N11 road that runs between Wexford Town and Enniscorthy with the section of the M11 that bypasses
Clough. This new motorway will allow motorists to bypass the towns of Enniscorthy, Ferns and Camolin. As a result, the time it takes to travel to Dublin could be reduced by 15-30 minutes. cArriAgeWAy The carriageway will connect the new motorway with the Clavas junction and the N30 road that connects New Ross and Enniscorthy. This carriageway will allow motorists travelling from New Ross and Wa t e r f o rd t o b y p a s s Enniscorthy. n
