New DART lines linking the tram service with west Dublin are now likely to commence construction in 2024.
The DART+ West project will see the electrified DART line move out of Dublin as far as Maynooth and the M3 parkway in Co. Meath. Construction is estimated to begin in 2024 and be fully completed by 2029, and the scheme anticipates passenger capacity to increase by 160 per cent on the DART.
A new station would also be built at Spencer Dock under the plans in order to allow passengers to connect easily with the Luas Red Line, and Connolly Station would also be developed to accommodate the project. Officials have said the initiative will “revolutionise” transport across the Greater Dublin Area in the years to come.
