Irish Road of Doom

Friday, 3rd November 2006 by Alex

I wonder if these drivers know that the road they’re driving along outside Cork, Ireland isn’t actually finished yet?

    Do you think they notice errors like that when putting the images together or whether it’s just a compitition in their office to get the most ‘mistakes’ featured on this website?

    That’s two images of the (recently completed) Ballincollig by-pass stitched together. The image on the left from the during construction phase, and the image on the right from after road completion naturally!

    Reminds me of an episode of “Married With Children” where one town is shrouded in perpetual darkness.

    I have seen a similar error to this one. Find England, (UK) and then Birmingham. Look on Maps for the ‘M6 Toll road’ - a blue (motorway) road. Follow it round using hybrid and you will see the road disappears at one point. There is a lorry about to crash!!.

    This was completed recently but it seems that google have only got half way through updating the maps.
    Can it be added to this category?
