Underpass from South Lotts road (opposite the old gasometer) to the east link bridge, a distance of 800m

An overpass from the N4 at Kilmainham over the rail tracks & river liffey, and an underpass under the phoenix park to the NCR (roughly parallel to the rail tunnel), a combined total of 1,200m

The net result would be to connect the NCR with the SCR on both sides.

This combined with a readjustment of junctions, lights and road design on both roads would allow (IMO) a much smoother cross city passage, and would give the southside a much more direct route to the DP tunnel.

Not cheap, but might be worth it in the long run.

thoughts?
