 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

 

This axis builds on improvements to the main north-south rail line in Ireland (PP9) and to the Ireland-United Kingdom-Benelux road links (PP13). Both have helped reduce passenger and freight journey times between Ireland, the United Kingdom and the European mainland considerably. However, further capacity increases of rail and road are required to cope with the development in traffic and further develop the links with the rest of the EU.

 

Globally, however, the axis is progressing normally. All activities should be completed by the end of 2020.
