Sandyford Business District is set to benefit from long-awaited infrastructure upgrades at Junction 14 of the M50, a key access route in and out of the district.
The work will address persistent traffic bottlenecks that impact commuters and businesses in the area and improve journey times.
Traffic congestions puts pressure on workers and employers across the capital, adding hours to weekly commutes and increasing costs for businesses reliant on deliveries and time-sensitive services.
Sandyford Business District benefits from extensive public transport and active travel links, but targeted investment in road infrastructure remains critical to ensuring the district remains accessible and competitive.
The business district is home to Mastercard, Microsoft, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Meta, Google, BNP Paribas, AIB, Avant Money and Cubic3 among a host of other companies.
The Junction 14 upgrades will support smoother vehicle flow while also enhancing conditions for pedestrians and cyclists, in line with the Sandyford Active Travel Scheme.
Planned works include:
- A new signalised junction on Blackthorn Road;
- Upgrades to the existing M50 Junction 14 roundabout to accommodate a new link road;
- Enhanced pedestrian and cyclist crossings on Leopardstown Road;
- Dedicated active travel infrastructure to support walking and cycling.
“Improving access to the district has long been a priority, as efficient infrastructure underpins economic activity and quality of life for those who live and work in the area,” said Ger Corbett, CEO of Sandyford Business District.
“These long-awaited upgrades at Junction 14 will support sustainable growth, improve daily journeys and strengthen Sandyford Business District’s position as a world-class location for businesses to establish and for people to live and work.
“We also look forward to improved cycle routes, which will encourage active and multi-modal travel to and within the district.”
