Ireland’s first motorway stations will open in 13 months time, but only three of the planned 15 sites have received the green light.
The National Roads Authority (NRA) announced on Thursday that contracts have been signed on three on the sites.
The NRA has signed a contract with the Superstop consortium to build three motorway service stations but another 12 planned stations have been shelved.
The current economic climate has been blamed for the decision to shelve 12 of the projects.
