The Clonskeagh Road Pedestrian and Cycle Improvement Scheme from UCD to Clonskeagh bridge has officially been opened by transport minister Eamon Ryan.
Actavo Civils Division was contracted to complete the project for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. As part of the project, the team constructed cycle lanes, footpaths, and junction switchovers on Clonskeagh Road from the junction with Roebuck Road to the junction with Beech Hill Road. The project is part of the Sandyford to the city centre cycle route.
Works undertaken as part of this project included: resurfacing of Clonskeagh Road, an upgrade of the junctions, application of anti-skid surfacing and line marking, landscaping and the completion of the drainage works.
