Publication of the N3 M50 to Clonee Option Selection Report

Following the completion of the Option Selection Process we would like to confirm that the Preferred Option for the N3 M50 to Clonee Project has been identified and is detailed within an Options Selection Report published today

The option which performed the most favourably in the options assessment was DS2 Online Median Widening

Along with Meath County Council and the support of Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), Fingal County Council is progressing the planning & design of the N3 M50 to Clonee project.

We have been working to develop a multi-modal transport scheme along the N3/M3 corridor between the M50 and Clonee, with a focus on improving long term access to public transport and reducing existing and future traffic congestion issues. Consulting engineers, ROD-AECOM, have been appointed to undertake the required studies and designs including all required environmental assessments.

The N3/M3 corridor is a strategic link on the national road network that has seen significant traffic growth recent years. Public policy at national, regional and local level aims to provide a high-quality transport corridor to underpin and support the economic development of the areas connected by the N3/M3 strategic road network in Fingal, Meath and the wider region.

The Option Selection Report has now been published, documenting the process of selecting the Preferred Option and outlining the rationale and criteria applied in this process. The Report can be viewed or downloaded from the FCC Portal: https://consult.fingal.ie/en/consultation/n3-m50-clonee-option-selection-report-june-2022
