FCC, in a temporary joint venture with other companies, has been awarded the contract to build and operate the M 50 motorway in Dublin, Eire, for €400 million.

The M-50 project is a concession to design, renovate and operate the M-50 Dublin ring motorway and includes its widening over 24 km and the operation and upkeep of another 19.3 km from the moment the contract is signed.

The concession is for 35 years and work is scheduled to end in early 2011.
