Traffic and Roadworks Update: Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council
The Traffic and Road Safety Section has released the latest bulletin detailing essential roadworks, closures, and traffic management strategies across Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown. All residents and road users are strongly advised to plan their journeys ahead of time, allow for potential delays, and strictly adhere to all temporary traffic arrangements.
Wyattville Link Road Speed Limit Remains in Force
A temporary 50 km/h speed restriction continues on the westbound section of Wyattville Link Road, specifically between Cherrywood Avenue and the southbound slip road of the M50. This reduced limit is scheduled to remain operational until 30 November 2026 or until the completion of all construction activities. These measures support the vital development of the Wyattville Link Road underpass as a key component of the broader Beckett Link Road Project.
Upcoming and Ongoing Infrastructure Changes
The council has identified several approved road closures that may impact traffic flow in the coming weeks, alongside new works commencing this week. Most ongoing projects operate under stop/go traffic management systems or temporary plans, which can result in significant delays for commuters.
Proposed Signalised Pedestrian Crossing at Cornelscourt

The primary objective is to significantly improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists while strengthening connections to nearby public transport services.
