THE Limerick Tunnel will open to traffic next Tuesday, July 27, when Taoiseach Brian Cowen cuts the ribbon at the €660m facility.
It is understood the National Roads Authority (NRA) have still to provide a final safety certificate. But it is expected that this will be signed off by the end of this week.

The opening of the 670-metre long Limerick Tunnel will see 100 new jobs created, as well as the removal of up to 20,000 cars daily from Limerick's congested city centre streets.

This project should improve quality of life for those living in Limerick city and for those who travel between Galway and Cork.

Nice to see that Cowen gets another day out to pretend that he is doing some good.

Thanks for that. It does seem like a fair question.
