A street in Fingal is set to temporarily close next week to facilitate resurfacing works as part of a €15 million transformation project, local council has announced.

Mill Street in Balbriggan will be closed to vehicular traffic between 8am and 6pm from Monday, February 17, to Friday, February 21 as a result of the major Balbriggan's Quay Street and Harbour project which forms part of the €54-€57million Our Balbriggan Rejuvenation Programme.

While pedestrian access is unaffected, the Upper Town Centre Car Park at Mill Street will be closed during this period and the adjacent underground car park will be accessible only before 8am and after 6pm.

Sixty-seven spaces at the Upper Town Centre Car Park at Mill Street will be unavailable from Monday, February 17 until the evening of Friday, February 21. All 67 spaces and four on-street spaces at Mill Street will be available on completion of works.

Approximately 700 other public parking spaces are available in Balbriggan presently, with 50 free car parking spaces provided by Fingal County Council at the new overflow car-park at Bath Road (Martello Tower) available from Monday, February 17.

There are a further 200 spaces at Bremore Castle Car Park and Bath Road Car Park.

All affected motorists are encouraged, if possible, to walk, cycle, or use public transport during the works.

Commuters using Balbriggan Railway Station are encouraged to continue to use other free, maintained car parking, or where possible, walk, cycle or use other public transport.

Traffic travelling from Harbour Road to Drogheda Street via Mill Street should continue straight onto George's Hill and then onto Drogheda Street and the junction of George's Hill and Drogheda Street.

Advance signage will inform traffic of diversion route and road closure. Local access will be maintained at all times. Emergency service access will also be made available.
