N4 median at Palmerstown

Hi, Any idea what's going on at the median just under the Palmerstown Footbridge on the N4? For the past few weeks a portion of it has been sectioned off and I have just noticed a concrete structure beginning to take shape - the sort that wouldn't be out place as some sort of bridge support.

Is it related to the upgrade of the N4? I can't find anything specifically on it from the County Council website.

I don't know. But I also heard today that on Kennelworth Rd Upper all the trees have been cut down between the N4 and the 18 bus terminus/turnaround.

Maybe its a new foot bridge. Perhaps the old one needs to go because the road is being widened.

One of the other "M50-N4 upgrade" threads refers to two new pedestrian bridges being erected in the next few weeks.

Edit: here it is

* On the night of the 13th Oct the N4 will be closed between the M50 and the Liffey Valley Junction while the new N4 and M50 Pedestrian Bridges and 2 sign gantries are being erected. Diversions will be in place.

I think the 2 new footbridges are over the M50 (Kings Hospital to Old Lucan Road) and over the N4 (Liffey Valley to near Kings Hospital)

Maybe it is a support for a new sign gantry?

It was raining that night so maybe those male models were wearing oilskins for their night out in town.
