Watch: First new Dunkettle interchange flyover to open in days 

Southbound motorists approaching the tunnel from the northern side have been warned to expect significant lane alterations and restrictions over the coming days

The first major bridge on the massive Dunkettle interchange engineering project, known as ST08, which will ultimately carry north and southbound traffic on the M8, is due to open over the next two weeks.

The first new flyover on the massive Dunkettle interchange project in Cork is set to open within days, with a major traffic switch-over operation on the cards. 

The opening of the structure, known as ST08, on the northern side of the Jack Lynch tunnel, will mark a major milestone in the huge engineering project to create a largely freeflow traffic arrangement through one of the country’s busiest interchanges, at the junction of the M8 and N25, the Jack Lynch tunnel, and the N40 Southern Ring Road.
