Changes To Stephens Green For Luas Cross City

Dublin City Council has announced a new traffic scheme that should make travelling in the St. Stephen’s Green area easier during the works for Luas Cross City which will begin in 2014. 

The St. Stephen’s Green Traffic Management Scheme works will start on the 9th of September and all work should be completed by late November this year.

The new arrangements will make it easier for public and private transport to travel around St. Stephen’s Green, while also improving access to car parks in the area and reducing the need to use Dawson Street as a through route.

The most significant changes are new right turns at St. Stephen’s Green’s junctions with Harcourt St and Merrion Row. Other improvements will include new cycle lanes, pedestrian crossings, dublinbikes stations and measures which will improve bus operations around St. Stephen’s Green.

The improvements will be staggered so as to minimise disruptions to local businesses and stakeholders. Some disruptions will occur during the works but the public and businesses will be able to access the area and all car parks throughout the works.
