The operator of Dublin Airport, daa, has awarded a €265m contract to construct the new West Apron Vehicle Underpass at the airport to joint venture Sacyr Ireland Ltd and Wills Bros Ltd.
The project, which is scheduled for completion by August 2030, will see the construction of a 1.1 km subterranean twin-cell tunnel connecting Pier 3 at Dublin Airport to the West Apron.
The signing of the contract with the Spanish-headquartered Sacyr and the Co Mayo-based Wills Bros follows three months after the Supreme Court rejected a final attempt in July by Ryanair to stop the construction of the cargo underpass.
