Dublin Port has opened public consultation on its 3FM project, the third and final Masterplan project needed to "complete the development of Dublin Port and bring it to its ultimate and final capacity by 2040".
The 3FM project focuses on Dublin Port lands on the Poolbeg Peninsula, on the south side of the bay and will deliver 20% of the capacity required by 2040. This project follows on from the first two Masterplan phases which focused on the Port lands north of the bay, the Alexandra Basin Redevelopment which is nearing completion and MP2 which has recently commenced construction.
There are seven main elements involved with the project. The first is the construction of a new 2.2km road called the Southern Port Access Road (SPAR).
