Dunkettle interchange upgrade begins

Site clearance works have commenced which signal the start of a €100m upgrade of the busiest road junction outside of Dublin.

Advance works are taking place close to the former Ibis Hotel for the upgrade of Cork’s Jack Lynch Tunnel/ Dunkettle interchange which is used by nearly 100,000 vehicles a day.

The upgrade includes removing the roundabout at the junction and creating a series of new local road links which will separate local traffic from vehicles using the M8 and N40.
