Inbound traffic diversion lifted on Clontarf to City Centre Scheme 

Dublin City Council has announced a key milestone in the ongoing Clontarf to City Centre (C2CC) Scheme.

Starting this Sunday evening, September 1, the inbound general traffic diversion between Edge’s Corner (Fairview Strand) and the Five Lamps Junction will be lifted.  

This diversion, which rerouted inbound traffic via Ballybough and Portland Row, has been a crucial component in facilitating the progress of construction along North Strand Road. 

With significant advancements made on the outbound side of North Strand Road in recent months, the reopening of the inbound lane on Annesley Bridge Road and North Strand Road marks an important step towards the completion of the C2CC Scheme.

It also marks the realization of a key element of Dublin City Council’s Active Travel Network, improving access, connectivity and sustainable mobility, and also contributing to a citywide reduction of transport-related carbon emissions. 

Victor Coe, Project Resident Engineer for the Dublin City Council Active Travel Programme said, “The lifting of the inbound diversion between Edge’s Corner and Five Lamps Junction is a major milestone in the Clontarf to City Centre Scheme.

“We appreciate the patience of commuters and local residents as we work to enhance the city’s infrastructure.

“This change will ease traffic flow while we continue to complete the final phases of the project, which will ultimately provide safer, inclusive and more sustainable travel options for everyone.”
