The Project
The Metro Dublin project goes beyond providing a metro for Dublin. It looks to turn Dublin into a world leader in public transport. For this to be achieved, the scope has to be set ambitiously. This means, facilitating new Intercity connections, removing choke points in National Network, connecting the whole Island to Dublin Airport, densifying Dublin and expanding urban connections.
For development purposes, Metro Dublin is divided into six
contract sections as shown in the image, with the existing The DART line marked as ‘7’. These sections are: 1. Glasnevin/Heuston/Docklands – 7.2km 2. Malahide & Donabate/Swords/Glasnevin – 21.2km 3. Adamstown/Heuston/Phibsborough – 15.8km 4. Blanchardstown/Glasnevin/Docklands – 13.5km 5. Ashbourne/Finglas/Glasnevin – 17.2km 6. Howth Jnc/O’Connell St/Rathfarnham & Templeogue – 17.1km |
