Dublin Bus announces temporary E2 route diversion due to roadworks
Passengers travelling on Route E2 face a significant detour starting in August as Mounttown Road Lower closes for essential roadworks. The service will bypass the affected area until late October, with alternative stops provided for those heading towards Harristown.
Temporary Diversion Announced for Dublin Bus Route E2
Dublin Bus has confirmed a temporary route diversion for its popular Route E2 following necessary roadworks scheduled on Mounttown Road Lower. The disruption is expected to impact passengers travelling towards Harristown from Tuesday, 4 August until Saturday, 31 October 2026.
The Detour Details
For journeys heading towards Harristown, buses will no longer use the normal route via York Road and Mounttown Road Lower. Instead, vehicles will divert via Mounttown Road Upper, Monkstown Avenue, Monkstown Farm, and Oliver Plunket Road before returning to their standard path.
Passengers travelling towards Dun Laoghaire can be reassured that their service will continue on the normal route without interruption during this period.
