Canal Towpath

GRAHAM Construction, on behalf of the National Transport Authority (NTA), is beginning construction on the Ballymun/Finglas to City Centre Core Bus Corridor Scheme. BusConnects is a transformative city-shaping initiative designed to make bus journeys more reliable and efficient, while also delivering major improvements to cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across the Greater Dublin Area.

We are writing to inform you that site investigation works are scheduled to take place in your area to assess the ground conditions and structural requirements for planned future works. These investigations will be carried out on the Royal Canal towpath between 5 July and 10 July 2026. Standard working hours will be 7:30am to 11:00pm, and all site investigation activities will be confined to the Royal Canal towpath.

Please note that the Royal Canal towpath will be closed from Sunday, 5 July to Friday, 10 July 2026 to accommodate these essential works. Appropriate signage and diversion information will be provided.

To facilitate these works, equipment will be delivered and tracked onto the towpath on Sunday, 5 July 2026 and removed on Tuesday, 7 July 2026. To ensure the safe delivery and installation of the equipment, a temporary lane closure will be required at Cross Guns Bridge for approximately 15 minutes within a 7:30pm and 11:00pm window for both delivery and removal. Traffic management operatives will be in place to minimise the disruption and maintain safety for all road users.

In advance of this project moving to construction, we will continue to proactively communicate clear details of the project to the local community and to relevant stakeholders in the area.
We regret any inconvenience these necessary works may cause.
