The DART Expansion Programme, designed by the Irish Railways, Iarnród Éireann/Irish Rail, will make it possible to improve train frequency and increase customer capacity for Dublin and the surrounding metropolitan area.
The joint venture will develop the project from concept to technical and environmental approval for its advance to design and construction phase, providing multi-disciplinary consultancy services including project management, preliminary design of the 20 km line upgrade and a public consultation process.
The upgrade include widening the railway from two to four tracks from Park West Station to Heuston and associated structural works to bridges supporting the track. It also involves electrification and re-signalling from Hazelhatch to Heuston and through the Phoenix Park Tunnel to Glasnevin junction. Realignment works to accommodate segregation of DART and Intercity services are also included.
