Key piece of strategic infrastructure opens in Dublin 15
Following extensive work that began in 2021, the Snugborough Interchange Upgrade located along one of Dublin’s busiest routes was officially opened today, marking the delivery of a multi-million euro project that will see significant transport improvements in the Dublin 15 area.
Located at Junction 2 of the N3, the key strategic infrastructure project was co-funded by the National Transport Authority. It features new cycleways on the bridge above the N3 and the River Tolka, while also improving accessibility to Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. To allow this scheme to come to its completion, there was careful consideration given on how best to mitigate the impact on the daily flow of traffic from the works.
As part of the improvement works, the new underpass features a mural designed by the artist James Earley. Titled “The Butterfly Effect” the impressive artwork celebrates the rich diversity of wildlife, flora and fauna around Snugborough. Using the anatomy of the orange tip butterfly as a focal point, the work encourages us to promote personal and ecological health in a mindful and active manner.
