Sandyford Road: End is Nigh (We hope)

Don't shoot the messenger! Just passing on the text of the latest council leaflet on the Sandyford Road nightmare.


Timetable to completion:

Following discussions with the contractor, the following timetable represents our best estimate of when outstanding works will be undertaken.

Start Monday 26th January, (weather permitting) Balally Hill to Clonard Estate

Sandyford Road will revert to one-way traffic between Clonard Road junction and Balally Hill junction for a period of approximately one month. This is to allow the contractor to install the final section of the surface water drainage. Sandyford Road will re-open to two-way traffic following the completion of these works.

Works taking place along this section of roadway include:

>> Exploration trenches to determine the best line for the new surface water drainage pipework
>> Installation of surface water drainage pipeline and associated manholes
>> Installation of road crossings for Eircom, traffic signals and new watermain
>> Removal of existing surfacing between Parkvale Estate and Clonard Estate
>> Re-Surfacing of the roadway between Parkvale Estate and Clonard Estate

Start Monday 26th January, (weather permitting) Clonard Estate to Blackthorn Drive junction
Simultaneously the contractor will install new footpaths and kerbing works between the junction of Clonard Estate and the junction of Blackthorn Drive. Work will also continue on the surfacing of the slip lane and the construction of the traffic islands at Blackthorn Drive junction.

Two-way traffic will be maintained at Blackthorn Drive junction during the construction works.
