The design, construction, operation and maintenance of approximately 16.5km of dual carriageway on the Arklow to Rathnew section of the N11  along with associated link roads, side roads and junctions which connect the existing N11 Arklow Bypass with the N11 Rathnew/Ashford Bypass;  

- Newlands Cross Upgrade.  The N7 Newlands Cross Upgrade which replaced the existing at-grade junction located at the intersection of the N7 Naas Road and the R113 Belgard/Fonthill Roads at Newlands Cross in South County Dublin, with a grade-separated junction.
