Initial works on the Luas Cross City project in Dublin will begin this week. The works are in preparation for the utility diversion works which will start later in the year.

These cellar works do not require significant traffic changes and access to premises and car parks will be maintained throughout. There may be localised curtailment or movement of kerbside parking and some disruption to traffic, however, there will be no diversions of any traffic. The works will begin on Marlborough Street and Dominick Street and will be followed by Dawson Street, Westmoreland Street and Parnell Street.

Dublin Bus services will continue to operate as normal during construction. The works will locate, and where necessary infill, cellars which may be under footpaths and road ways along the route.

Gráinne Mackin, Director of Communications for the Luas Cross City project said: "While these works signal the beginning of the project, it’s important that everyone knows that the streets will remain open to all commuters, shoppers, traffic and pedestrians."
