The full work zone for Phase 2 is 24km in length and will consist of building a third lane in each direction, upgrading seven junctions and providing a fourth lane between a number of adjacent interchanges.
Some interchanges will become 'FreeFlow' where traffic is not required to stop; some will become 'Partial Free Flow' where traffic will have to stop at traffic signals or yield lines, on one or more approaches.
Construction of a third traffic lane in each direction between junction 3 (M1) and junction 6 (N3) plus a fourth auxiliary lane between these interchanges;
Upgrading junction 3 (M1 Interchange above) to a freeflow standard for all M50/M1 traffic movements and building two new bridges and auxiliary lanes to facilitate traffic merging from M1/M50 Interchange and junction 2 (R104 Coolock Lane) north of the Dublin Port Tunnel;
Upgrading junction 4 (Ballymun Interchange), to include a new second lane on all "on" and "off" ramps; providing footpaths and cycle lanes on east and west sides of upgraded junction;
Upgrading junction 5 (N2 Interchange above) to a partially freeflow standard including construction of new road bridges, a new footbridge, pedestrian / cycle crossings and cycle paths;
Upgrading junction 6 (N3 Interchange above) to a partially freeflow standard and construction of new road bridges, two new footbridges and pedestrian and cycle crossings; replacing the existing roundabout at Auburn Avenue with a new fully signalised junction
