Ballycoolin to Kingstown Trunk Watermain Works

Irish Water in partnership with Fingal County Council has started a major infrastructure project in North Dublin, the Ballycoolin trunk watermain. The project involves the construction of an additional regional trunk watermain between Ballycoolin Reservoir and Swords that will help to safeguard the water supply to homes, businesses, hospitals and farms in North Dublin and the wider Greater Dublin Area (GDA). The construction of the second regional trunk watermain recently commenced and is expected to take approximately two years to complete.

Roadbridge Limited are delivering this project on behalf of Irish Water and in accordance with current Government and HSE COVID-19 advice.

To facilitate the installation of the new trunk watermain it will be necessary to carry out works across a number of roads requiring traffic management and road closures.

The first road crossing is starting on Monday, 5 July. A stop/go traffic management system will be in place on the L3125 from Kilshane Cross to St Margaret’s from Monday, 5 July to Saturday 10 July inclusive and again from Monday, 12 July to Wednesday, 12 July inclusive. In order to minimise the impact of the works they will be delivered between 9:30am and 4 pm.

A road closure will also be required on the R122, just North of St Margaret’s Village near the Junction with Kilreesk Lane. This will be carried out on Tuesday, 13 July and Wednesday, 14 July.

A further road closure will also be required on the Kilreesk Road, near the junction with Kilreesk Lane. This will be carried out on Thursday, 15 July and Friday, 16 July. 

Local diversions will be in place during these road closures and emergency and local access will be maintained at all times.
