The site includes the motorway dual carriageway between Junction 4 (Tyrrellspass) and Junction 5 (Tullamore) The Existing Environment The works will take place on the existing M6 which is a dual carriageway motorway between Junction 4 and Junction 5. The topography of the region is generally flat. Temporary traffic management will be required to execute the works. This section of the M6 motorway carries an annual average daily traffic of approximately 23,282 AADT, of which approximately 8.2 percent comprises heavy goods vehicles. The posted speed limit is 120km/h along the M6 section. Live traffic is considered a significant hazard on this project.
