Anyone know what’s happening that will take from now until Decemeber?


Have they not dug up and changed enough roads in the area?

Thanks for the information.

Are you talking about the work they are doing on the flyover over the N3 between the shopping centre and Blanchardstown Road North.

Saw plans for a major reworking of that junction. Is that being done?

No, the signs I seen said blanch village.


I know on the work you said, the last I asked one of the builders, they were checking out the ground to see if it would take the wider bridge.


IF they go two lanes either side, the roundabouts will have to go and be replaced with traffic lights. As it stands the roundabouts are too small.

As someone who lives in Waterville...that would cause a scary level of disruption!

Anyone know what the story is with the buses? What route are they taking since they are being directed towards roselawn.

The 39a is unchanged.
The 39 is avoiding the village, going on the bypass, up the slip road by the garda station and going through that junction to then go up the clonsilla road.

38 will be diverted too.

Dublin bus stuck up details at my stop, but their site hasn't stuck it in the updates section yet about any of the diversions.

Edit:
I'll take a note of the dates & inbound / outbound disruption next time I'm at it.
