Government awards €600m contract for maintenance of Ireland's major road network

Concerns have been raised about traffic gridlock on the eastern approaches to the Jack Lynch Tunnel and the Dunkettle Interchange.
A massive State tender potentially worth up to €600m has been awarded to operate and maintain major roads, including the Jack Lynch Tunnel in Cork.
The awarding of the contract to Egis will see it responsible for the Dublin tunnel and the Motorway Operations Control Centre, which monitors 1,200km of Ireland’s motorways.
