Pursuant to the requirements of the above, notice is hereby given of the proposal to provide the following scheme: Tallaght Quality Bus Corridor Enhancement (The N81) from Fortunestown Road to Old Bridge Road junction.

The scheme consists of approximately 2.5km of QBC in the inbound direction (to Dublin City) and approximately 4.3km in the outbound direction (towards Tallaght). The sections of bus lanes proposed are as follows:

Inbound: Approximately 2.5km of bus lane between Cookstown Road and Tallaght Road/Avonmore Road Roundabout to tie in with existing bus lane.

Outbound: (Approximately 4.3km of bus lane)

  1. From Old Bridge Road to the Spawell Roundabout,
  2. M50 to Killinarden Way,

The Scheme will provide considerable benefits for public transport users on the route as follows:

  • Provide a direct route from Tallaght to Dublin city centre with high levels of priority.
  • Allow a quick and reliable bus services capable of providing consistent reliable journey times and headways.
  • Integrate and link with the existing Tallaght QBC, The Firhouse/Ballycullen QBC, The Green Route QBC and the Outer Ring Road QBC (Cookstown Road).
