The National Roads Authority (NRA) has finally given the green light for Ireland’s first motorway service stations, at an estimated cost of €47 million.
The three service areas on the M1, at Castlebellingham, Co Louth, Lusk Co Dublin, and on the M4 at Enfield Co Kildare will operate 24 hours a day.
The NRA says the service stations will be funded under a public / private partnership, including a consortium comprising Applegreen, TOP Oil and Pierse Contracting (Design & Construction).
Each of the service areas will provide facilities on either side of the motorway and at each location there will be a restaurant, convenience shop, toilet and showers facilities, fuel, and dedicated parking for HGV’s.
