PLANS TO UPGRADE the N11-M11, a new DART station for Spencer Dock, an extension of DART services to Wicklow Town and a raft of other road projects have been confirmed in the government’s new national transport plan.

A list of transport projects that are on the priority list for this government have been published today by Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien.

The plan for transport sets out what the government document describes as an “ambitious programme of investment” over the next five years.

The National Development Plan Sectoral Plan 2026–2030 outlines the pathway for future investment in Ireland’s transport system and provides more detail to the National Development Plan that was published during the summer.

Many of the projects mentioned in today’s plan will be familiar to readers. Some have been in the works for years. Today’s announcement sets out further detail on how the various roads, railways and train stations will be progressed.
