Led by Irish Water and Kildare County Council, this project involves the construction of approximately 230m of new sewers in lands immediately north of the Cork to Dublin railway line. A second phase of works will also commence in mid-September along a section of Rosconnell Avenue adjacent to the Rosconnell Street Apartment Complex.
In order to safely carry out the works, a road closure will be necessary on Rosconnell Avenue from the entrance at Sexes Road to Rosconnell Grove for approximately one week. During the works, traffic will be diverted around Rosconnell Square however local and emergency traffic will be maintained at all times.

Commenting on the project, Lisa Cogan, Irish Water said: "Working with our colleagues in Kildare County Council, we are very happy with the progress being made on this vital project for Newbridge. A sewer network that is fit for purpose is essential in order to support business and social development in the community. These works will support existing and future residential and commercial development while also improving the overall performance of the sewer network and will safeguard the local environment by reducing the risk of sewer flooding.
"We understand that the works may cause some inconvenience to commuters and our crews will make every effort to minimise any disruption and complete the project as quickly as possible. On behalf of Irish Water, I would like to thank the people of Newbridge in advance for their support and co-operation."
When complete by mid-October, the project will support future growth and development and improve the existing sewer network for local residents.
Coffey Construction Limited is delivering the project on behalf of Irish Water.
