Monitoring is taking place of the works carried out in connection with the Dunboyne M3 commuter rail project. This will comprise a twin-track railway line from an M3 interchange at Pace, through to Clonsilla Station, linking into the city centre at the new Docklands Station, providing a new service for commuters along the route. The proposed length of the new line between the M3 interchange and Clonsilla is 7.5km and follows the route of the old Navan branch. Two new stations are proposed along the route, at Dunboyne and Pace, which also comprises a major park-and-ride facility. No archaeological remains have been uncovered to date but works are ongoing.
