Jacobs selected as technical advisor for new M28 motorway in Ireland

Jacobs has been selected by Cork County Council as technical advisor for the new M28 motorway linking the N40 South Ring Road to the Port of Cork in Ringaskiddy, in County Cork, Ireland. Jacobs’ scope includes consultancy services during the design, construction and closeout phases of the project. The proposed M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy motorway project is the upgrade of approximately 7.5 miles of the N28 National Primary Route to help improve its safety, capacity and accessibility. Forming part of the Core Trans-European Transport Network, the Transport Infrastructure Ireland-funded scheme will enable the strategic development of the Port of Cork’s facilities in Ringaskiddy, while also supporting the economic development of the area locally, regionally and nationally. The motorway is scheduled to be completed by 2030.
