Plans have been submitted for the Proposed Point Roundabout Improvement Scheme in Dublin.

Part VIII of the application was submitted which includes the upgrade to the Point Roundabout junction to a three-arm signalised junction with a left-turn slip lane from North Wall Quay to East Wall Road, Dublin 1. The junction will include toucan crossings to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists on North Wall Quay and the East Link Bridge.

The upgrade of the junction will result in the requirement of a new access arrangement for Dublin Port to accommodate northbound movements. The scheme proposes to provide a new access to Dublin Port by providing a fourth arm at the signalised junction of East Wall Road and Sheriff Street Upper. The new access will enable the closure of the existing left in left out access to Dublin Port along East Wall Road. Additionally, to improve traffic management in the area, it is proposed to widen East Wall Road to provide an additional northbound lane along with a cycle track and footpath. The additional lane will allow a relatively free flow of traffic from North Wall Quay onto East Wall Road while also helping to ease the levels of queuing on the East Link Bridge.
