Motorists will get their first full free-flow experience through the upgraded Dunkettle interchange today as six critical link roads open and traffic lights are switched off at one of Ireland's most notorious bottlenecks.

Tailbacks on the approaches to the Jack Lynch tunnel should become a thing of the past when the new traffic flow arrangements become established today—a key milestone in the massive €215m interchange overhaul.
