Question:

185 Mr. Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Transport if the National Roads Authority will carry out an analysis on the feasibility of providing a new high quality road connection between the N3 near Navan and the M1 near Drogheda as an alternative route for commuters between Navan and Dublin to that proposed as part of the N3 motorway route between Clonee and Kells.

Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

The planning, design and implementation of national road improvement projects is a matter for the NRA and the local authorities concerned. I understand from the NRA that the route for the upgrade of the N3 was chosen following detailed consideration of the options available and the traffic, engineering, environmental, community and property severance and cost implications involved.
