A MAJOR road used by thousands of Irish drivers is now closed for over 10 DAYS – and diversions are in place.
Dublin City Council has alerted motorists about the temporary closure on their website.
Clonturk Park in Dublin 9 is now temporarily closed for almost two weeks to facilitate resurfacing works.
The road closure is taking place from 8am to 9pm daily between Monday, July 7 and Sunday, July 20.
And motorists are being warned it will affect the entire cul de sac stretch of Clonturk Park, covering around 130 metres.
Dublin City Council stated: “Clonturk Park (Cul de Sac – 130m), Dublin 9.
“Date – from Monday 7th July 2025 to Sunday 20th July 2025.”
Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the duration of the closure and local access will be facilitated where possible from all closure points.
Traffic marshals will be on-site at the closure points to assist with traffic management and ensure access where needed.
Motorists are advised to follow signage in place and to plan alternative routes to avoid delays in the area during the works.
Clear signage will be installed to direct road users through any diversions and road users are advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.
Dublin City Council added: “Pedestrian access will be facilitated at all times.”
Meanwhile, a busy Dublin street is also closing due to a big rule change.
Dublin City Council has announced that the transformation of Parliament Street has begun.
It’s believed that up to 23,000 people pass through the street on a daily basis.
ROAD TRANSFORMATION
This new measure will permanently close the space to traffic, reallocating it to walking and cycling.
It will also provide green and public seating.
The council said: “This space will provide an attractive north-south pedestrian and cycle route between City Hall and Bolton Street.”
It will link with Capel Street as well as between the east and west areas of Temple Bar.
In May 2025, 90 per cent of respondents to a survey said they were in favour of enhancing public space and enabling two-way cycling.
The presentation to the South East Area committee showed a positive reaction, as the majority said they had a desire for fewer cars and more space for people.
People referenced the success of Capel Street as an example, citing the increased vibrancy, improved atmosphere and greater footfall as positives for local businesses.
SAFER AREA
They mentioned that the proposed measures would make the area safer and more pleasant to walk and cycle through.
It would also encourage families and children to visit, with outdoor seating perfect for socialising and community events.
Works on seating, planting and surfacing have begun on July 7 and will continue through the summer.
It is the third measure in the Dublin City Transport Plan 2023.
