Roads to be closed this week for visit of US President Joe Biden

Gardaí have announced that several roads around Dublin will be closed for the visit of the President of the United States, Joe Biden.

In a statement, a Garda spokesperson said: “The 46th President of the United States of America will arrive and depart at Dublin Airport, at various times over the course of the 4-day visit.

“Normal operations will continue at Dublin Airport at all times, however travelling members of the public should allow additional time to arrive at the airport due to possible rolling road closures, particularly late Wednesday and early Friday.

“In general, traffic restrictions for the visit will be kept to the minimum required and it is intended that any impact on the public will be localised and minimal.

“However, the public can expect localised road closures to facilitate events and temporary rolling road closures to facilitate security escorts over the course of the 12th – 15th April 2023.”

From today, Earlsfort Terrace is closed to traffic, with pedestrian access to businesses on Earlsfort Terrace via Hatch Street only (until Saturday 15th April)

On Wednesday and Thursday, Phoenix Park will be closed to all access, traffic and pedestrians, until 5pm Thursday while arrangements are in place for local access only.

Specific details on further local road closures, parking restrictions and traffic diversions for Louth, Dublin and Mayo will be published in the coming days.
