COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monastery Road Improvement Scheme Phase 4
South Dublin County Council intends to commence construction of Monastery Road Improvement Scheme Phase 4 beginning Monday the 14th of October 2019.
The estimated project duration is 6 months. DM Morris are the appointed contractors.
The works extend from immediately east of the Monastery Heath junction along the Monastery Road to the
Ibis Roundabout proceeding south across the N7 on the bow bridge (L1019) and terminating just south of
the bridge at the Red Cow Luas Stop car park.
The works will comprise the following:
- The construction of new wide footpath between Monastery Heath and SIAC roundabout.
- Provision of safe pedestrian crossing facilities at the SIAC roundabout on the Woodford Hill arm and reconfiguration of the roundabout.
- Provision of 2 signalised pedestrian crossings, one at SIAC roundabout on the Woodford arm of the roundabout and the other one on the bow bridge (L1019) just south of the Ibis roundabout.
- Junction treatment works at Monastery Gate entrance.
- Pavement works on footpaths around the Ibis roundabout.
- Tree planting to replace trees on Monastery Road that require removal.
- Provision of staircase down the eastern embankment just south of the bow bridge to the footpath at the bottom.
- Resurfacing of the footpath and cycle track between the SIAC roundabout and the Ibis roundabout and merging the footpath and cycle track into a shared facility.
The extent of the scheme is shown on the drawing attached.
During the construction there will be temporary traffic management in place which will alter during the
various phases of the works. Arrangements have been put in place to protect pedestrians, cyclists and all
other road users during the course of the works. Local access will be maintained at all times during the
duration of the works in order to minimize impact on surrounding residents, schools and businesses. Works
will be timed to facilitate am and pm peak traffic.
We apologise in advance for any inconveniences caused during the course of the works and we will
endeavour to minimize disruptions as much as possible. Information updates will be posted on www.sdcc.ie
