Important Update on Works in Bray

From tomorrow Wednesday the 22nd of May, Southbound traffic in Bray will be diverted via Quinsborough Rd., Eglington Rd and Florence Rd back to Main St. for the next 3 to 4 weeks. Delays are to be expected.

Northbound traffic will travel as normal through Main St, with slight alterations to layout through the works area between Florence Rd Junction and Quinsborough Rd/Herbert Rd Junction.

In conjunction with this for a period of at least 1 week - starting tomorrow  Wednesday the 22nd of May, there will be diversions on Herbert Road, with no through access to Main St. from Herbert Road. 

Traffic will be diverted to Main St via Parnell Rd (or King Edward Rd can be used also as an alternative). Access from Main Street to Herbert Rd will be maintained , although it would be advisable to access the Herbert Road Car Park from the Main Street via Parnell Road.

These works are scheduled to be complete in October 2013 and will bring improvements to the  road surface, bus and cycle lanes, new wider pavements, new street furniture and lighting, new signalized crossing points at the Civic Offices.  All of which are welcomed, but while the works are ongoing expect delays and allow for extra time on your journey.
