A series of road works have been announced in the Clondalkin area of south Dublin.

Phase 4 of the Monastery Road Improvement Scheme is set to begin on Monday 14 October with contractor DM Morris taking the reins.

The works extend from immediately east of the Monastery Heath junction along the Monastery Road to the Ibis Roundabout proceeding south across the N7 on the bow bridge (L1019) and terminating just south of the bridge at the Red Cow Luas Stop car park.

They will comprise of the development of a new wide footpath between Monastery Heath and SIAC roundabout; provision of new crossing facilities; junction treatment works at at Monastery Gate entrance; and resurfacing of the footpath and cycle track between the SIAC roundabout and the Ibis roundabout. Further works include pavement upgrades on footpaths around the Ibis roundabout and the provision of a staircase down the eastern embankment.

During the construction there will be temporary traffic management in place which will alter during the various phases of the works.

Local access will be maintained at all times during the duration of the works in order to minimise impact on surrounding residents, schools and

businesses. Works will be timed to facilitate am and pm peak traffic.

The project is expected to take six months to complete.
