Connyngham Works Update

Lots of you have been asking on the show when the left turn lane of Connyngham Rd will reopen, wel it looks like it's going to be the 18th of April.

The 6 metre high and 30 metre long wall is being built on schedule. The ground anchoring is starting on March 18th 

Normally retaining wall works like this would take a lot less time but the work has to be carried out in short 5 metre lengths or else more of road could collapse which would include gas mains, and other utilities being damaged. 

Add to this the space to work in Bridgewater Quay is very confined as it is necessary to keep entrance road open for traffic and emergency vehicles etc.

The whole thing takes place in the national Convention centre

On Thursday the 6th March a traffic management plan including local traffic restrictions will be put in place at the front and rear of the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) on North Wall Quay. 

A number of "lay-bys” will be created outside the CCD to facilitate the arrival of 1500 delegates & the media arriving at the venue. At this time traffic flows will be maintained if possible in all directions on North Wall Quay.

At 6:30pm approximately on Thursday the traffic management plan will begin to restrict the movement of traffic in front of the CCD.

It should be borne in mind that pedestrian restrictions from approaching the CCD will be in place so residents / employees should have a form of ID to ease access to their place of employment & residences.

Friday the 7th March

Friday is a normal business day and Gardaí do not anticipate any significant issues in this regard. A small number of road closures local traffic restrictions will be in place around the convention centre. Public transport in the areas will run as normal.

Ireland V Serbia Traffic Restrictions.

Ireland take on Serbia this evening in the Aviva, kick off is at 7.45 with the styles opening at 7.45 with everything wrapping up around 9.45.

As always we can not emphasise enough that public transport is the way to get to the match. If you must drive, avoid the Grand Canal it is always heavy, you are better coming in by the N11 or the South Circular Rd. 

The Swords Rd inbound has been busier than normal for the past few months, so save yourself the pain and come in via Ballymun, Finglas can be tricky around Harts Corner.

The following roads will be closed to through traffic from 3. 15 on Wednesday afternoon:

Lansdowne Park

Lansdowne Lane
