Fri 01 Jan 2008Defective tunnel tiles to be removed
Defective acoustic tiles which have been falling off the walls of the Dublin Port Tunnel are to be removed, the National Roads Authority (NRA) has confirmed.
The tiles, which were installed along a 150m stretch at both ends of each of the twin tunnels, were intended to reduce noise levels. But according to the NRA they had little effect on the noise and when wet would fall from the walls.
