NRA planning to ease city’s busiest junctions

An NRA spokesman said yesterday that Jacobs Consultants have been appointed to look at improving traffic flow at the Jack Lunch Tunnel and Dunkettle roundabout junctions.

The spokesman also confirmed that as part of the project land would be set aside for a park and ride railway station in the general North Esk area, close to the former Ibis Hotel. The NRA previously blocked a move by Cork County Council and Iarnród Éireann to build a park and ride railway station at North Esk.
