Transport 21 represents the largest capital investment commitment ever made by Government to the development of transport infrastructure in this country.

At the launch of Transport 21, the Government identified the projects in the national roads, public transport and regional airports sectors that it wishes to see prioritised for development in the ten-year period from 2006 to 2015.

The completion dates given for Transport 21 projects at the launch of the investment programme were indicative only and subject to the requirements of (i) public consultation, (ii) relevant statutory processes and (iii) the procurement and contract award process. The current status and indicative completion dates for major projects can be found on the Transport 21 website (www.transport21.ie).
