DBFL’s Civils & Transportation Team provided planning, detailed design, procurement and construction stage services on the project which forms part of the Newbridge South Orbital Route between the R445 Naas Dual Carriageway and the Great Connell Road.

The works also included the significant realignment of the existing R445 dual carriageway, provision of key Irish Water Infrastructure and access to Lidl Ireland’s new multi-million euro Regional Distribution Centre.
