€28m road level crossing upgrades to start in Limerick

Contracts have been signed to begin work on seven manned public road level crossings, including two in Limerick.

Iarnród Éireann confirmed the €28 million improvement scheme is being funded by the Department of Transport through the National Transport Authority.

The level crossings at Fantstown and Thomastown in Limerick will be closed, with a replacement bridge or alternative road solution provided at each site.

After a procurement and tendering process over recent months, contractor Jons Civil Engineering Ltd is expected to arrive on site in the coming days to commence the works.

The project is scheduled for completion by April 2028.
