Dunkettle interchange prepares to go fully free-flow for first time

Motorists have been asked to plan their journeys through the interchange in advance and allow additional time, particularly at peak times

A number of new road links are due to open in the Dunkettle interchange this weekend.

Gardaí and engineers will be monitoring Cork's Dunkettle interchange all weekend as it prepares to go fully free-flow to traffic for the first time.

Six new link roads built as part of the €215m interchange overhaul are due to open to traffic, and all remaining sets of traffic lights will be switched off from early Sunday morning at the junction which handles up to 110,000 vehicles a day.
