A major upgrade scheme will see the removal of two "substandard" junctions and improved cycling and pedestrian facilities on a busy north Dublin road.
The Hole in the Wall Road/Moyne Road Junction Upgrade will realign the junctions of the Moyne Road with the Hole in the Wall Road in Donaghmede and the Drumnigh Road in Portmarnock.
Fingal County Council said the work will create a much safer layout for road users by improving sightlines and new signalised crossing facilities.
The council recently announced of SIAC Construction Ltd to deliver the scheme.
Mayor of Fingal, Councillor Eoghan O’Brien, said the project would support the development and growth of the area.
He added: “These upgrades will provide a safer and sustainable infrastructure for the road with new footpaths and cycleways that will create a supportable environment for all users.”
The project is co-funded by Fingal County Council and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government under the Rebuilding Ireland (Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund) LIHAF initiative.
The work will also include flood management measures and a new water supply network infrastructure.
Senior Engineer Paul Carroll said: “This project will result in the removal of two substandard junctions and the creation of a safer road layout with lower speeds, significantly improved sightlines for drivers, and improved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.”
Construction started on Monday, February 10 and is expected to take 14 months to complete.
