M3 Parkway Dunboyne Water Network Upgrade
Uisce Éireann Growth and Development Programme
Uisce Éireann is upgrading the water infrastructure at Dunboyne, Co. Meath to support future growth and development in the area.
The works involve the installation of approx. 3km of water mains to cater for the future growth and development of the wider Dunboyne area. These works are being carried out as part of Uisce Éireann’s Growth and Development Programme and are expected to commence in June 2026.
The section of works will take place between the connection point on the R147 near Kilsaran, crossing underneath the M3, running south east on Pace Road, through private lands to the R157 Parkway roundabout, then running south west on the R157 where it will terminate at the roundabout Junction of Summerhill Road.
This project is being delivered to support existing and future developments within the community. It will improve the supply capacity of the existing water network in the area, improving performance and reducing demands on the current network.
The works will be carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by GMC and are expected to be completed by June 2027.
What are the benefits of the works?
The benefits of these water network works include:
- Supporting social and economic development – This project will facilitate social and economic growth, including planned residential development.
- Improving the water network – This project will upgrade the water network, increasing the capacity to deliver reliable, sustainable high-quality water services.
- Providing a more resilient water supply – This project will improve the resilience of the water network, increasing connectivity to enable re-routing of water supply as required.
Will customers be affected by the works?
There will be traffic management along the R147 (near Kilsaran), Pace Road, and on the R157 (between the train station roundabout and the Summerhill Road roundabout) throughout the project. There are no planned road closures.
We understand that this type of work can be inconvenient and works crews will make every effort to minimise any disruption these necessary works cause. Standard working hours are 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
