€100m Dunkettle interchange project given green light

An Bord Pleanála has given the green light to National Roads Authority (NRA) plans for a €100m upgrade of the Jack Lynch Tunnel/Dunkettle interchange.

The board voted by a three-to-one majority to approve the scheme, at one of the country’s busiest junctions.

It also approved the issuing of Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPOs) which are required as the NRA needs to acquire land to construct some elevated new slip roads.
