Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown roadworks and traffic updates for October
Motorists across the county are advised to plan their journeys carefully as various road closures and infrastructure projects continue this week. These essential works aim to facilitate ongoing development and utility improvements throughout the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown region.
Commuters travelling through Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown should prepare for a series of traffic disruptions and road closures scheduled between 3 and 9 October 2026. A reduced 50 km/h speed limit remains active on the westbound Wyattville Link Road to support the Beckett Link Road Project, with this measure expected to persist until late November. Additionally, motorists are reminded that the one-way system on Mounttown Road Lower continues to restrict traffic to northbound travel only as part of the ongoing Active Travel Scheme.
The Council is currently managing several significant infrastructure projects, including the installation of a new watermain on Brides Glen Road in Shankill, which will necessitate a closure until 28 November. Furthermore, a brief closure is scheduled for Silchester Road on 9 October to allow for permanent reinstatement works. Residents and road users are encouraged to monitor local signage for specific diversion routes, which have been established to maintain access for pedestrians and local traffic throughout these construction periods.
Public consultation is currently open regarding proposed closures for the upcoming Dublin Marathon and essential gas works on Torquay Road. Stakeholders wishing to submit observations or objections regarding these proposals must do so via the official Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council website before the respective deadlines of 7 October and 19 October. All road users are urged to allow extra travel time and to exercise caution when navigating areas where temporary traffic management systems are in operation.
