The junction is considered one of the worst bottlenecks for Kildare commuters heading towards Dublin - and regularly turns into a "car park" when there’s even a minor collision.
A long-awaited review of the M7/M9 junction is nearing completion.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland says a report is now being finalised and will be examined once received.
The junction is considered one of the worst bottlenecks for Kildare commuters heading towards Dublin - and regularly turns into a "car park" when there’s even a minor collision.
The update was issued to Kildare South Labour TD Mark Wall, who has been calling for action on congestion across the corridor.
TII says it will review the findings as soon as the report lands.
The review follows a series of serious road collisions at the junction in recent months, raising concerns among commuters and local residents.
It aims to address the increasing number of accidents and implement solutions that will enhance the safety of road users.
Deputy Wall previously said the review should focus on road safety enhancements and junction tightening, with secondary concerns directed toward alleviating congestion in towns and villages through bypasses, followed by regional connectivity improvements.
