Future Developments
Other sections of the route may become motorway. Part of the N25 dual carriageway in Midleton is to have all its junctions grade-separated and all direct accesses removed from the route (by the construction of a parallel road), thus making it suitable for upgrade to motorway status.
The NRA is examining the possibility of a new road from Midleton to Youghal, with route options being investigated.
As part of the Atlantic Corridor road scheme the section of road between Waterford and Rosslare Europort will be built as high quality dual carriage way or motorway standard. Some parts are currently in planning and design stages. However due to deterioration of the Irish economy and the scaling back of the road building programme the proposed 2015 completion date on these projects is now unlikely.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or developments:
“Self-kindled every atom glows,
And hints the future which it owes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
