IBEC urges action on eastern bypass

IBEC has called on the Government to fast-track plans for an eastern bypass of Dublin, connecting Dublin Port to the southern end of the M50, following the publication of a poll which finds growing public support for the project.

“The eastern bypass, which could be provided by a tunnel, a bridge or a causeway across the south of Dublin Bay, is vital for the capital.

“The new road would connect to the existing M50 and create a full ring road around the city, greatly reducing traffic congestion in the city centre,” said IBEC transport director Reg McCabe.
