Upgrade works to add capacity to Old Dublin Road

Limerick City and County Council is beginning works that will add capacity to a section of R445 (Old Dublin Road) in order to help reduce peak waiting times for motorists.

Work will be scheduled to minimise disruption to traffic

The works will be carried out between the Mackey Roundabout and the entrance to St Vincent’s School.

They will include:

  • Upgrade of the Traffic Lights and Controllers at the R445/R506 Cappamore Junction.
  • Remarking ​the road lanes between Mackey Roundabout and Annacotty to increase road capacity

The works are due to begin on Monday 23 October 2017 and are scheduled to last for five weeks.

These works will involve alterations to the existing traffic lights, traffic islands and resurfacing and remarking of the existing road carriageway and are planned to improve traffic flows through the Cappamore Road junction.

Works that will result in delays to traffic including road resurfacing and marking are scheduled to take place at night between the hours of 9pm and 6am.

Minor works will take place during the day after 9.30am and will minimise impact on traffic.

Motorists and other members of the public are advised that Limerick City and County Council will endeavour to minimise disruption during the works but some delays will be inevitable to traffic during the night time works, so please plan your journey accordingly.

This project is being co-financed by Limerick City and County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
