Dublin submits expansion plans

[ July 22, 2024   //   Chris Lewis ]

Dublin Port Company has submitted a planning application to An Bord Pleanála for a 15-year permission for its 3FM Project, the third and final part of its Masterplan 2040 scheme.

The 3FM Project includes the construction of a new bridge across the River Liffey as part of the Southern Port Access Rout, removing heavy goods vehicles and commercial traffic from existing public roads leading to and from the Tom Clarke Bridge, while giving pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users 7.0 km of cycle and pedestrian routes for active travel across the Poolbeg Peninsula and River Liffey. In addition, a new Maritime Village, public park and enhanced public and community amenity will be provided.

The project, put forward by self-financing commercial semi-state Dublin Port Company, is the largest port infrastructure project in the company’s 317-year history. It completes the three core strategic infrastructure projects brought forward for development from Dublin Port’s Masterplan, with the ABR Project near completion and the MP2 Project under construction.
