Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Jun 15, 2007 by mackerskiContraflow here due to the Cashel - Michelstown HQDC scheme. A grade-separated junction is being constructed here to replace the roundabout that was the former southern terminus of the N8 Cashel bypass. This roundabout only lasted from October 2004 to about March 2006 before it was dug up. The design of the new interchange is here http://www.phmcc.com/N8EIS/Volume3-Drawings/3_1MainlinePlanProfile/3_1_22.pdf
