M8 Cashel - Mitchelstown

This section was originally opened as the N8, and was subsequently reclassified as M8 in September 2008. The road had a solid hard shoulder from its opening earlier in the year, so only the signage had to be changed.

M8 Cullahill - Cashel

Parking areas are provided, even though the ones on the M9 were closed up prior to reclassification as a motorway. There isn't much protection here from errant vehicles straying into the parking area.

N8 Cashel - Cahir

Solid hard shoulder, but this is not a motorway. I guess it'll make the upgrade easier!

N8 southern end of Cashel bypass

Contraflow 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

N8 north of Cahir

This shot is taken at the northern end of the S2 Cahir bypass. The construction work visible is part of the Cashel to Michelstown HQDC scheme. This will be the bridge that carries the link from Cahir to the HQDC over the existing N8.

M8 Cullahill-Cashel - Southbound First Signage

Please give credit to Furet over on Boards.ie for this great picture. This shows the first sign that southbound traffic will see upon entering the new stretch of M8. Just the little 'M8' sign to go on top of the existing signage.
