The planning, design and implementation of national road improvement projects, including the Dublin Port Tunnel, is a matter for the National Roads Authority, NRA, and the local authorities concerned. The traffic management and control arrangements that will apply following the opening of the port tunnel, including requirements for Dublin Port related HGV traffic to use the tunnel from its opening in 2006, are a matter for Dublin City Council.
