Construction News Image
Preparatory works are taking place on a route alignment and station locations project for Metro North.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the National Transport Authority expect the work to last throughout 2017, after which a public consultation process will get under way in 2018.

Minister for Transport Brendan Ryan said: "Since September 2015 when the last Government chose Metro North as the only long term transport solution for the M1 corridor including the Airport and Swords, I have been pushing the NTA and Transport Infrastructure Ireland to get their skates on and get this project underway.

"With a construction start date slated for 2021 I asked the Minister what progress has been made in the year since this Government came to power. I was informed that work on a final route and station alignment is being prepared and that this work will be completed in 2017.

"This will be followed by a public consultation in 2018."
