Jump To Comment: 1 2M3 road contracts likely to be signed shortly
Irish Times, Friday 2nd March 2007
Tim O'Brien
Contracts for the construction of the controversial M3 motorway in Co
Meath are expected to be signed next week between the National Roads
Authority and preferred tenderer Siac Ferrovial.
Siac Ferrovial which trades as Eurolink has already moved machinery on
to a site compound south of Dunshaughlin.
NRA chairman Peter Malone, recently reappointed for a second five-year
term by Minister for Transport Martin Cullen, said yesterday that
contracts were at final stages and were expected to be signed in the
coming week.
The motorway is controversial chiefly because of its proximity to the
Hill of Tara but it has also attracted criticism because of its
proximity to other motorways, including the M2 and M4.
Other objectors have complained of its toll road status. A number of
groups have campaigned against its construction but a High Court
challenge was unsuccessful.
News of the imminent start of construction was greeted as "not a good
thing" by Vincent Salafia who took the High Court challenge. Mr Salafia
said yesterday he understood further legal challenges including a
challenge at European level were in the pipeline. The campaign would
continue, he said.
Siac Ferrovial also built the N4 toll motorway through the midlands
which opened in December 2005 and is currently involved in the upgrade
of the M50.
The €500 million-plus M3 project is to include about 60km of motorway
and 50km of access roads. It will utilise approximately 700 hectares of
land between Clonee and north of Kells.
The existing N3 Dublin to Cavan road is one of the principal routes
linking Dublin to the north-west. The route is currently dual
carriageway to the Clonee bypass and severe congestion is experienced at
peak times at Dunshaughlin, Navan and Kells.
A spokesman for the NRA confirmed the Dunshaughlin site had been set up
on foot of a transfer agreement for materials from work on the M50.
There is a vigil meeting tomorrow at the Ardboyne Hotel
in Navan at 3pm.
