16 new stations<\/a>. Stations will run from Swords to the north of Dublin and Charlemont in the south.<\/p>\nIt is estimated that the Dublin MetroLink will carry around 50 million passengers each year.<\/p>\n
The network will work in tandem with Dublin\u2019s existing air, rail, Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART), Dublin Bus and Luas services.<\/p>\n
The new metro system will provide a direct line to Dublin Airport from the city centre and will stop and key locations such as Ballymun, O\u2019Connell Street and St. Stephen\u2019s Green.<\/p>\n
The MetroLink will reduce travel times by approximately 25 minutes<\/h3>\n
Travel times from Swords to Dublin City Centre will be reduced by around 25 minutes, with much of the journey taking place underground. 30 trains will travel in each direction every hour.<\/p>\n
“The appointment of Turner & Townsend to the role of Client Partner represents a key milestone in the development of the MetroLink project and underlines the Irish State\u2019s commitment to delivering this much-needed project,\u201d commented Aidan Foley, MetroLink project director for Transport Infrastructure Ireland.<\/p>\n
Helping Ireland create more sustainable transport infrastructure<\/h3>\n
The Dublin MetroLink will support Ireland\u2019s conversion to a low-emissions transport system while helping the country\u2019s sustainable economic development and easing the pressures of population growth.<\/p>\n
Each construction company involved in the project has been appointed to a framework which runs for 13 years until 2036, with immediate effect.<\/p>\n
12 years have been allocated for the development and construction of the MetroLink, with an extra year added to bring the service into operation.<\/p>\n
Turner & Townsend have worked as commercial advisors on the MetroLink programme since 2018. Alongside various partners and a multidisciplinary team, the company will provide programme management office (PMO) services on the project.<\/p>\n
Turner & Townsend will also oversee procurement, design, engineering, safety, information management and sustainability.<\/p>\n
\u201cMajor programmes like MetroLink offer a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the way people travel across the capital, connecting communities both inside and outside Dublin with an efficient, low-carbon public transport service,\u201d said Gary Easton, infrastructure lead for Turner & Townsend.<\/p>\n
