No access to Aungier St from Bishop St from Sunday the 1st of February.

In a bid to reduce traffic conflict at the junction, Dublin City Council will be closing access from Bishop Street onto Aungier Street/Redmond’s Hill from Sunday February 1st 2015.

This is going to cause a lot of confusion for a few days next week as a significant number of cars use the "rat run"

The closure is designed to improve traffic flow along Aungier Street particularly in light of the increased bus traffic in the area due to recent Luas Diversionary works.

The closure will make it safer for both pedestrians and cyclists passing through the junction and improve the environment for local residents by reducing traffic along Bishop Street.

The closure will initially be implemented for a trial period of 6 months with a view to making the closure permanent should it prove successful.

Possible Diversionary Routes for Local Traffic on Bishop’s Street

Bishop Street to Wexford Street:
Traffic can proceed down Peter’s Row, turn right at Whitefriar Place and turn right onto Aungier Street.

Bishop Street to Aungier Street:
Traffic can proceed down Peter’s Row, turn right at Whitefriar Place and turn right or left onto Aungier Street.

Bishop Street to Georges St / Aungier St:

Instead of taking Bishop St, travel along Bride St to Golden Lane and from there take Stephens St Upper to either Georges St or Aungeir St

Bishop Street to Digges Street Upper
Traffic can proceed down Peter’s Row, turn right at Whitefriar Place, turn right onto Aungier Street, and then turn left onto Digges Street Upper

Comments or Observations on the Closure can be forwarded to traffic@dublincity.ie

No left turn from North Fredrick St to Parnell St for 11 Weeks.

OK so technically it's Cavendish Row not North Frederick St, but lots of people call that little slip of road a few different things. either way 

From Tuesday 26th August there will be no left turn from Cavendish Row to Parnell St for 11 weeks.

For the first week of these works there will be only one lane from Parnell Street onto Parnell Square

From Sunday Evening (24th August) Parnell Street will be reduced to one lane in both directions at Parnell Square West

Closure of Dawson St for the lying in State of the late Taoiseach Albert Reynolds

Due to the lying in state at the Mansion House of the late Taoiseach Albert Reynolds, tomorrow Saturday 23rd August 2014, Dawson Street will close to traffic from 6 PM to 7.20 PM

You can expect delays to traffic coming in from Leeson St  and also around 1 on Sunday when the state funeral of the former Taoiseach takes place in Donnybrook.

All bus routes normally using Dawson Street on Saturday evening will be diverted from Leeson Street (Routes 11, 46a and 145) and Baggot Street (25, 25a, 25b, 37, 38, 38a, 38b, 39, 39a, 70) to Fitzwilliam Street, Merrion Square North, Clare Street, Westland Row, Pearse Street, College Street to Westmoreland Street and back on to normal route.

Routes 14, 15, 15a, 15b, 44, 61 and 140 that normally access Dawson Street from Camden Street Upper will divert straight on Camden Street to Georges Street, Dame Street to Westmoreland Street and back on to normal route.

IMPORTANT Newlands Cross Diversions

Newlands Cross underpass is closed due to concrete pouring. As a result Belgard Rd and Fonthill Rd are left turn only and there is no right turn from the N7 outbound to the Fonthill Rd.

We are expecting there to be severe delays later, on both the Belgard Rd and Fonthill Rd and also added delays on the N7 inbound and outbound approaching Newlands Cross.

Our best advice for the evening is to avoid Newlands Cross altogether and use the Outer Ring Rd.

Diversions:

To drive form the Fonthill Rd to Belgard Rd or to the  N7 outbound, turn left at Newlands Cross then loop around on the Luas Bridge to the N7 outbound and on to Newlands Cross where you can either turn left onto the Belgard Rd or keep driving straight out on the N7

To get from the Belgard Rd to Fonthill Rd or N7 inbound. Turn left at the Belgard Rd then loop back around at J2 Kingswood, where you can either keep driving straight on or turn left at Newlands Cross onto the Fonthill Rd.

N7 Outbound to Fonthill Rd must also loop back around at J2 Kingswood and turn left at Newlands Cross onto the Fonthill Rd.

Don't drive as there will be ‘no parking available for the public’ at or in the vicinity of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. Cars will be clamped or removed if parked in the vicinity. 

As the festival is well serviced by Dublin Bus, Luas and Irish rail public transport is the best way to get to and from the event.
