Yes there should be a lockdown and keep people at home all the time.

Have you ever been to the area? (Leixlip, Clonsilla, Clonee) All the roads around there are twisty, narrow, usually with very poor sightlines, no pedestrian facilities, level crossings, severe gradients, one lane bridges everywhere etc. Oh and plans for much more development, along 16th century goat tracks that were not fit for purpose 100 years ago.

I can only assume from your lame attempt at a platitude that you've never been to the area.

Decent, well lit cycle lanes from ongar/hansfield to lucan will be very welcome

Does anyone know if the construction taking place in the large field beside beechfield and in the field opposite and onto the backroad close to the bakery is this new road discussed before?

The field opposite, adjoining Holsteiner Park is currently having the pipeline laid through it as mentioned, but will be built up with housing when the pipeline is complete. The field adjacent to Beechfield will not.

Good to hear this is moving forward as the new bridge will in effect replace the Clonsilla Level Crossing which will be closed under the DART+ West project. It will provide a new bridge over the rail tracks at Barberstown, the Ongar to Barnhill bridge being under construction will hopefully negate some of the objections to closing the LC. See here;

The new bridge over the rail tracks to replace the Barberstown LC is part of DART+ West, the drawing I like is part of the RO. There is another bridge running north/south which is part of the Ongar to Barnhill Distributor Road project.

Main tender for Ongar to Barnhill Distributor Road issued last week;

BAM Civil Ltd appointed as contractor following completion of a tender process - end of August 2023.

Sod turning took place Friday, 8 September 2023.

Site works commence 11 September 2023.

Contractor BAM Civil Ltd will carry out this work on behalf of Fingal County Council with a projected completion date in late 2025.

When is the next sod due to be turned, and at what interval, yearly perhaps?
