N7/N11 Arklow / Rathnew

Project Details
A key strategic link in the national road network, the upgrade to the N11 is being developed along with the Newlands Cross junction upgrade as a single PPP contract. The N11 upgrade will improve road safety on a notoriously dangerous stretch of road and will also include the first on-line service station on the N11, at Gorey. The Newlands Cross fly-over will remove the last traffic light between Cork, Limerick, Waterford and the border with Northern Ireland. Some 80,000 vehicles pass through Newlands Cross every day.
