Advance Notice of Works to Celbridge Bridge
Thursday, 10 October 2024: Kildare County Council wish to give advance notice that traffic on the R403 over the River Liffey Bridge in Celbridge will be reduced to a single lane from 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, 29 October 2024 until 5:00 p.m. on Friday, 01 November 2024 inclusive to facilitate emergency bridge repair works. Traffic management will include local diversions for the following roads near the bridge: the L1016 (Newtown Road) and the R405 (Hazelhatch Road).
- Traffic travelling on the L1016 (Newtown Road) towards the bridge will be diverted through the L6057 (Simmonstown Manor) onto the Hazelhatch Road.
- Traffic travelling on the R405 (Hazelhatch Road) towards the bridge will be diverted through the L1027 (Shinkeen Road) onto the R403 Dublin Road.
- Vehicles exiting Saint Patricks Park, will only be able to exit via Church Road/Tea Lane (L5065).
The emergency works are necessary to ensure the safety and structural integrity of the bridge. These works will be carried out by TRIUR Construction Limited on behalf of Kildare County Council. Single lane traffic will be maintained over the bridge at all times, however delays will be unavoidable. Traffic lights will be in place at the junctions on either side of the bridge however long queuing is to be expected.
Alternative routes will be signposted. Kildare County Council would encourage motorists to use these diversion routes, allow extra time for travel and minimise the journeys over the bridge where possible.
