From a new bus plaza to the north-west of Blanchardstown Town Centre, the works will continue towards and terminate at the Snugborough Road junction. The Bus Plaza is an important element of BIW and comprises of a physical bus interchange and driver welfare facility structure in the Blanchardstown Interchange.
