A €38 million sewerage scheme in County Kildare is moving forward to the next phase of development.
Work will begin in Clane on Monday 23 March as part of the continued Upper Liffey Valley Sewerage Scheme.
This investment will see improvements delivered to the local sewer network to support the economic and social development of Clane.
As part of the work, a new wastewater network will be built in a number of locations in Clane. A new sewer will be built from the L1023 Ballinagappa Road to the R403 and along Central Park and also on the Prosperous Road. Approximately 3km of new sewer will be constructed on the R403 from Clane to Sallins.
Irish Water is working with Kildare County Council to deliver this stage of work in phases.
A series of road closures have been confirmed to allow work to be carried out. They are as follows:
• Along R403 Central Park, Celbridge Road from Monday 23 March to Saturday 04 April, 2020
• Along R403 Celbridge Road/ R407 College Road Junction from Monday 06 April to Friday 10 April, 2020
• Along L1023 Ballinagappa Road/ R407 junction from Saturday 11 April to Saturday 18 April, 2020
• Along L1023 Ballinagappa Road from Monday 20 April to Thursday 30 April 2020.
It will also be necessary to close two bus stops on the R403 (next to and opposite Circle K, Clane Road, Abbeyland) for the duration of the essential works.
Diversion routes will be clearly signposted and emergency access and local and business access will be maintained.
Speaking about the project, Olive Marshall, Irish Water, said: "This project will safeguard the environment by improving the wastewater system. It will ensure that there is capacity for future growth in Clane as well as other towns in Kildare. The works in Clane form part of a larger €38 million project called the Upper Liffey Valley Sewerage Scheme that is needed to provide Clane, Sallins, Prosperous, Naas, Kill and Johnstown with the infrastructure needed to support the building of houses, schools, attract new industry and allow companies to expand and grow."
