The Dunkettle Interchange is a major road junction in Cork City, Ireland. It forms a junction between the M8, N25 and the N40. The junction has recently been converted from a roundabout with flyover in the west-east direction to a free-flowing junction. On average, 95,000 vehicles use the junction on a daily basis. In 2018, a further civil engineering upgrade to make the interchange work on a freeflow basis was undertaken by Sisk.[1] In February 2024 the rebuilt interchange costing €215 million was officially opened.[2]

It should not be confused with the Dunkettle Roundabout which is around 750m to the west.
