The Government approved the updated Preliminary Business Case in respect of the DART+ South West project in March this year, under Decision Gate 1 of the Public Spending Code.
The DART+ South West project will extend DART services from Dublin city centre to Hazelhatch and Celbridge train station, as part of the wider expansion of the DART network in the coming years. It will provide a fast, high-frequency and electrified rail service to communities along the route at Islandbridge, Park West and Cherry Orchard, Clondalkin, Adamstown, and Hazelhatch and Celbridge.
The Government’s approval enabled the DART+ South West project to enter the statutory planning process and the Railway Order application for the project was submitted to An Bord Pleanála on 22 March.
