Upgrading of existing five-arm signalised junction at Snugborough Rd./N3 off-ramp/L3020/Main St. including widening of all road approaches, provision of new high quality pedestrian/cyclist facilities and new public transport priority measures. Removal of right hand turning movement from Waterville onto the Snugborough Road. Removal of existing roundabout at Snugborough Rd/N3 on-ramp/Waterville and construction of 2 new signalised junctions in its place. Construction of new bridge structures over the N3 and over the Tolka Valley and river. Construction of infrastructure to facilitate diversion of the existing 1200mm diameter 9C foul sewer. Existing ramped access to Tolka Valley Park to be replaced with access at similar grade.
Why would there be?
Its only some working space that being used at the moment. The final arrangement will return that house to its cul-de-sac status with new tree planting and what not. Absolutely no need to have purchased it to be consumed by the scheme.
Here's a screenshot from the Road Layout PDF. Another PDF shows that last house from Waterville Row side.

I saw a reply that the tweet was unhelpful as no details of the changes were included, nor are they on the project website.
That's because they don't know what they are yet.
There's an intensive works programme under way, and they seem to be flying, but there's no way they could tell you what every rearrangement of traffic between now and May is going to be, because a dozen different factors could delay work. If people just generally avoid the area and follow the signs day-to-day if they must go that way, it'll be grand.
Now would be the time to either open the hospital to traffic or give people long term a code or pass or something to get the barrier to open from Waterville
That would be awesome!! I'm constantly having to go to town (work) via cappagh at the moment because getting on to the n3 has been so difficult. When we bought in Waterville the hospital was open which made such a difference.
They can't make the hospital a rat run though.
Not sure it would be in the same way it used to be when the road through to the village was open.
The village wasn't the destination. It was just on the route. Now is no different.
Sometimes. My point was that the lights at the village were a bigger bottleneck.
I can't agree that they don't know what they are at. If there are traffic management changes then someone is telling some guy on the ground where to put the cones. That first someone could relay the same into onto the web site people.
If they move then cones again then tell them again and update the website. Before Christmas, when the closed the 'fast lane' they had a complete diagram of it. Why not now?
Queue now at Junction 6. Thats with the road not open.
Thats one diagram of a new arrangement, on a national route, that is going to remain that way for the duration of the works.
They won't be drawing diagrams every time they fart around with some cones on the side roads, which will be several times a week between now and May.
That diagram was for eastbound. I would expect that if they change westbound flow that they would at least write a few words to state that.
It does say that inbound traffic will be unaffected so must be westbound
New bridge beams over the N3 going up over the course of this week with night time road closures per advice attached.
Anyone know what is going on with this project?
I haven't seen anyone on-site in ages.
They've been doing a lot of night works lately with lane closures and significant delays around 10.30pm
I hadn’t noticed that. Just seems like the bridge and Blanch centre side of the works has been ready for weeks but nothing happening
This was around the roundabout at the bottom of the Waterville side. Stop go halfway across the bridge which had the queue for the slip off the n3 back towards the village exit and the other queues were long too. Got stuck for a good 20 minutes one of the nights.
They can't open until that roundabout is sorted. It feels like that is a while off yet.
Ask BAM, the developers, for an update: https://www.snugboroughinterchange.ie/contact-us/
Is the old cottage beside Ebay/Intreo being demolished? Are they widening that corner as part of the current upgrades or are they separate works altogether?
You can look at the plans at: https://consult.fingal.ie/en/consultation/proposed-part-viii-snugborough-interchange-upgrade
From looking at the 'ROAD LAYOUT' document, it looks like it's due to remain.
Due for completion Q3 2023 according to an update I received from an elected rep. So at least another 6 months of these works
Hasn't been too disruptive really. Work is progressing at a decent lick.
That cottage right now looks like its being underpinned. Seems mental for a derelict structure. Is it going to come back to life as something??
6 more months to finish this FFS ! I'd have knitted a bridge quicker. Over 1.5yrs -an absolute joke.
Any word on when the pedestrian tunnel will reopen? That's been the biggest ball ache.
Will be a while I'd imagine, one of the last things I'd guess.
No, you really wouldn't.
At least not one with earthworks and engineered retaining walls and diverted underground services and traffic through the site at all times.
And also built to a price.
