Big ¤6m boost for vital N2-N3 linkup Construction is set to commence next month

Q LAURA WEBB

CONSTRUCTION on a vital piece of infrastructure in Dublin West linking the N2 to the N3 will get underway this September following the allocation of €6million worth of funding by the Department of Transport.

Speaking to the Gazette, Transport Minister and local TD Leo Varadkar said: “This is a major breakthrough for the transport network in Dublin West, as the road will provide a crucial link between the N2 and the N3. “The new road will relieve traffic on the N3 in the Mul-

huddart and Hollystown areas, and open up new industrial lands in north Blanchardstow n for job creation. The total cost of the project is €24 million, but some €15 million will be recovered from levies imposed on land owners and developers.”
