SIAC–Ferrovial JV, as part of the Eurolink Consortium, were the successful bidders on this PPP Motorway Scheme extending from the end of the existing Clonee bypass to the Meath/Cavan border. The scheme includes bypasses of Dunboyne, Dunshaughlin, Navan and Kells. This is on one of the five major inter-urban routes (Dublin to Belfast, Dublin to Cork , Dublin to Galway, Dublin to Limerick, Dublin to Waterford) as described by Transport 21. On this ongoing scheme ABM Bridge Systems have provided multiple precast Opti-Cadre structures, complete with wing-walls and precast bridge beams. In most cases these structures have been completed, ahead of the advancing main contractor, in green fields over local access routes. This has resulted in a very efficient co-ordination of services within the programme,fully utilising the advantages of the Matière Opti-Cadre system.
The new intersection Stupava was opened to public on the first of August 2011. It is the crossing of the old D2 with the new constructed D4.
The rail bridge RB01, which carries the rail line over a local farm road, is in close proximity of the main structure on this section, the bridge across the Maritca river. The bridge RB01 is replacing an old existing bridge at the end of its lifecycle which was confirmed by several borehole drills samples tested in a laboratory.
continueThe road bridge carries over a 2nd class road over a double rail electrified track. The existing bridge structure was a three span bridge of precast pre-stressed beams of the length 30m sitting on in-situ columns.
