The project involves the upgrading of pedestrian facilities on Monastery Road in order to improve general walking conditions on section of Monastery Road between Monastery Walk and Castle Park in Clondalkin. This is part of an ongoing project earmarked for the improvement of walking and cycling facilities from Clondalkin Village to Redcow Luas Station and these works constitute Phase 3 of the project. The project will entail the provision of zebra crossings, raised table top ramps with raised pedestrian crossing on side roads at junctions, bus ramps, narrowing of Monastery Road between Monastery Walk and Monastery Park to 6 metres and consequential widening and renewal of footpaths on Monastery Road.
The Council has been granted additional funding by the NTA (National Transport Authority) to extend the scheme further towards the Village. The scheme is now going as far as the west side of Castle Park junction. The additional work will include the provision of 2 zebra crossings, 2 raised table top ramps with raised pedestrian crossings on side roads at junctions and renewing and widening of footpaths both sides of Monastery Road.
These on-going works are now scheduled to be completed by the end of April 2016. We wish to apologise for the inconvenience caused.
