A computer-generated image of the proposed bridge linking Dublin Port's southern and northern sections: As part of the 3FM project, it is aimed at taking heavy goods traffic off local roads.Plans to build a new bridge over the river Liffey linking the north and south portions of Dublin Port are at an advanced stage and will be submitted for planning permission later this year, Dublin Port Company has said.
Aimed at taking heavy goods traffic off local roads, the bridge is part of the third and final component of the master plan to expand the transport hub. The 3FM project, as it is called, will also include the development of the largest container terminal in the Republic near the ESB’s Poolbeg power station and a new maritime village, incorporating facilities for water sports and sea scouting.
Barry O’Connell, chief executive of Dublin Port, said the 3FM project was now “at an advanced design stage and will be submitted later this year for planning”. The company has also reported that the volume of goods moving into and out of the port fell in the first half of the year as global inflation coupled with Chinese economic uncertainty led to a decline in imports and exports.
