Work to build tunnels and underground stations for Dublin’s proposed metro is expected to start in 2028, according to reporting from Irish outlets.
The articles describe a timeline in which major construction shifts from planning and early-stage preparation to physical works, with tunnelling and station construction forming the next phases. The coverage ties the 2028 start to the programme’s delivery schedule and the need to complete prior steps before large-scale excavation begins.
While all outlets align on the broad timing, they frame the information differently. Some focus on the construction sequence—tunnelling first followed by station work—while others stress the broader implications of the start date for infrastructure planning and project readiness. The reports collectively indicate that preparatory work continues ahead of 2028, and that detailed implementation depends on meeting programme milestones and approvals as the project advances.
