Important Newlands Cross Upgrade Information

This Friday 13th of December, (Don't be so superstitious) The N7 Naas Road outbound will see some dramatic changes in its layout. The changes will be made in the evening between 9.30 PM and 6 AM this will have an impact on traffic as will the changes as drivers get used to the new layout.

The main points we would like to get across to motorists are as follows:

The N7 outbound traffic will be diverted onto new temporary lanes. Most of you will have noticed the construction of these lanes over the past few months. There will be 3 lanes plus a bus lane in place, in addition to the right and left turn filter lanes onto Fonthill and Belgard Roads (similar to the existing layout). There will be orange road markings, to show the temporary nature and the extent of the temporary diversion.

There is a 60kph statutory speed limit in place through the works area. We strongly urge all road users to comply with the 60kph speed limit, in the interests of the safety of road users, the public and the construction workers. The Gardaí will be enforcing the speed limits through this area.

There are cyclist and pedestrian facilities available from the Red Cow to Newlands Cross. There are no dedicated cyclist or pedestrian facilities west of Newlands Cross on the N7. There will be 3 traffic lanes available, with no hard shoulder. Of course this will cause problems if there are breakdowns or collisions.

A diversionary route will be put in place for cyclists wishing to travel west from Newlands Cross towards Citywest. South Dublin Co Co strongly advise cyclists to use this route, in the interests of their safety.

Stay tuned to Live Drive for further information.

Changes to Newlands Cross Inbound Today

There is a new layout on the N7 inbound before Newlands Cross.

The right lane at the Green Isle has been taken out. Basically everything has shifted over a lane with the bus lane no longer being a bus lane. The markings have been burnt off the road but it caused a load of confusion this morning.

It also makes it difficult for traffic to merge from Boot Rd to the N7 inbound. This has an impact on the road which runs at the back of the Green Isle Hotel (St. John's Drive or the Old Green Isle Rd). This morning this saw sever congestion with tailbacks as far as Kingswood.
