Council Announces New Traffic Scheme To Facilitate Works

Dublin City Council has announced a new traffic scheme that will make travelling in the St. Stephen's Green area easier.

This will result in less disruption when the utility works for Luas Cross City begin in 2014.

The council announced today that work will begin on the St. Stephen's Green Traffic Management Scheme on 9th September and expects all work to be completed by late November this year.

The new arrangements will make it easier for public and private transport to travel around St. Stephen's Green, while also improving access to car parks in the area and reducing the need to use Dawson Street as a through route. The most significant changes are new right turns at St. Stephen's Green's junctions with Harcourt St and Merrion Row. Other improvements will include new cycle lanes, pedestrian crossings, Dublin bike stations and measures which will improve bus operations around St. Stephen's Green.

"The scheme we are announcing today will benefit all road users in the St. Stephen's Green area. It will also minimise any necessary disruptions during the Luas Cross City works and integrate the expanded Luas into the City's traffic management," said Michael Phillips, Director of Traffic at Dublin City Council.

"As Luas Cross City work progresses the National Transport Authority and Dublin City Council will continue to work closely together to ensure the least disruption to movement around the city," added Gráinne Mackin, Director of Communications, Luas Cross City.

The improvements will be staggered so as to minimise disruptions to local businesses and stakeholders. Some disruptions will occur during the works but the public and businesses will be able to access the area and all car parks throughout the works.
