📋 Tender Overview
The project covers new and electrified infrastructure on 20 km line from Hazelhatch and Celbridge station to Glasnevin via the Phoenix Park Tunnel Branch Line. The works also include the quadrupling of rail track between Park West and Heuston and the construction of Heuston West new station at Islandbridge. The project involves electrification of the Phoenix Park tunnel along with the wider route, allowing DART trains to operate between Hazelhatch/Celbridge and Connolly station, and beyond, as well as Heuston station.
Construction works for DART + South West are expected to begin in 2025, subject to planning permission and final funding arrangements. This infrastructure is anticipated to be delivered by the end of the decade.
DART+ South West comes under the multi-billion euro DART+ Programme, which is said to treble the present DART rail network from 53km to 150km.
It will help expand the DART to Drogheda to the north, Maynooth and M3 Parkway to the west and Hazelhatch and Celbridge to the south-west.
The government’s approval of DART+ South West today highlights our commitment to invest in high-quality public transport and decarbonise Ireland’s transport system.
This rail project will transform the lives of people living in communities along the route, giving them a fast, reliable and frequent train service into Dublin.
