More traffic in Julianstown than on new M4
Interesting report in today's Irish Times on the opening of a portion of the new M4 between Kilcock and Kinnegad
The Kilcock to Kinnegad motorway will have 18 toll booths, nine in each direction that will serve an expected 18,000 vehicles a day. Just under 40,000 vehicles a day are forecast by 2025, at which level the current system will still cope, according to the level-of-service agreement.
That's right the Euro 600M road scheme is catering for traffic volumes 15% lower than exist in Julianstown at the present moment. Right now 21,000 vehicles a day use Julianstown and nobody is willing to think about solutions.
