Dunkettle Interchange Set For Major Revamp

A 100 million euro upgrade of the Jack Lynch Tunnel/Dunkettle interchange has been given the green light. The National Roads Authority will carry out the work and needs to acquire land to construct some elevated new slip roads. The plan also involves creating a number of dedicated local access roads around the junction which will separate commuters making local journeys from regional and national journeys. The signalised roundabout at the northern end of the tunnel will be removed for total free flow and a dedicated slip road will be built on the city side of the tunnel so traffic can directly access the northbound lanes of the M8.
