    This document provides an overview of an interchange upgrade project on the N25 near Bandon and Sarsfield in Cork, Ireland. The key aspects of the project include: 1) Grade separating the Bandon Rd and Sarsfield Rd roundabouts by elevating the N25 over the two interchanges. 2) The total length of the scheme is approximately 3.2 km and will link the Ballincollig Bypass with the Kinsale Rd Interchange. 3) The estimated total project cost is €98 million and completion is planned for Summer 2013. Some of the design and construction challenges include managing traffic on the busy N25, very poor ground conditions, and accommodating/diverting

    Challenges
    Traffic management N25 is busiest road outside Dublin (ADDT = 110,000 approx.)
    Ground conditions very poor
    Accomodating/diverting existing services
    Pedestrian bridge demolition

    Geotechnical
    Ground conditions:
    Very poor soft clay and peat
    Ground progressively worse from Bandon Rd Roundabout to Sarsfield
    Rd Roundabout
    Solution:
    Excavate & replace (Bandon Rd Roundabout primarily)
    Controlled Modulus Columns (CMCs) elsewhere
    Buried pile slab and piled bridge at Sarsfields

    Controlled Modulus Columns (CMCs)
    Soil improvement technique involving augered, unreinforced concrete columns
    1st use in Ireland
    Offers enhanced stiffness CMCs and surrounding soil act compositely to share
    imposed loading
    Load transer platform (LTP) is laid on top to evenly distribute the loading
