Limerick Southern Ring Road Phase II Construction (Dooradoyle)

The following pictures were taken by Zoney at boards.ie

View from Dooradoyle Road roundabout (Crescent shopping centre to the right)

View from Dooradoyle Road side of rbout (Dooradoyle Road has a link to N20 junction 1)

View of bridge from shopping centre car park, note the railway locomotive emerging from under the bridge – this is the Mungret line which has a level crossing on the existing St. Nessan’s Road (such as remains for the next couple of days). Nice timing. There is a slip off the ramp into the shopping centre carpark – just off frame to the left.

View of the southwest ramp. There is a bus bay just to the right, and the aforementioned slip is where the red car is. The dooradoyle roundabout is behind the vantage point of the photo. Note the temporary lane markings and studs for diverting both lanes of traffic over the complete half of the ramp.

View on existing St. Nessan’s Road of the bridge and diversion under. The northeastern bridge ramp sits right where the old road used to be – until last week the traffic was diverted to the left of this in the photo (while the initial diverting of Ballinacurra Creek and construction of the bridge took place). SRR still to be built under bridge once the traffic is diverted over it.

View of the SRR mainline taking form to the west – the Ballinacurra Creek is just on the left edge of the frame.

View of the bridge from the east, and the traffic diversion beneath – where the SRR mainline will be constructed. Mungret railway line is under the furthest span in the frame, the creek is in a culvert.

View of SRR mainline to the east.

Northeastern end of the bridge – there is a junction with the South Circular Road immediately left of the frame – complicating matters just a tad! The surface and pavement is pretty much entirely tied in on the northern side of the ramp – just left of frame.
