At some stage tomorrow before the evening rush hour kicks in the two right turning lanes from St. Stephen’s Green East to Merrion Row will come into operation.
The right turning lanes provide access to the Northside of the city via Merrion St Upper, Claire St and Westland Row. It will also prove access to the N11 via Baggot St. The works are part of the St. Stephen’s Green Area Traffic Management Scheme which is all being put in place to facilitate the Luas Cross City works.
The works will create a bottle neck for traffic turning left to Dawson St as there will be only one lane to turn left towards Dawson St and St Stephens Green Shopping Centre car parks. This may cause a delay for traffic coming in from the N11 to St Stephens Green East as traffic settles into the new the system.
A new right turn from St. Stephen’s Green South to St. Stephen’s Green West opened last Thursday the 21st of October. This provides an alternative route to York St and access to the St. Stephen’s Green / Grafton St car parks.
When construction of Luas Cross City commences on St Stephen’s Green West, St Stephen’s Green North and Dawson St, there will be a reduction in the capacity for vehicular traffic on Dawson St. Due to this it is necessary to provide alternative arrangements for traffic in the area.
