New Metals Walkway - DLRCC

Historically Dun Laoghaire Town Centre has been severed from its seafront by the railway cutting of the Dart Line particularly between Park Road and the junction of Marine Road and Crofton Road. This has created a barrier for pedestrians walking between the seafront and the town.

This scheme proposes to address this divide by creating a new deck over the railway cutting between Marine Road and the entrance to the Pavilion Car Park. This deck is designed as a new brightly lit public space complete with trees seating and a play space along the frontage of the Pavilion. The scheme also proposes the upgrade of Marine Road to create an inviting link from the seafront to the town centre complete with a boulevard of new lights and trees.

The project will be undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 is now underway with Irish Rail decking over the railway cutting while Phase 2 will undertake the new paving and landscape works. When completed the project will create a new high quality pedestrian area, a café terrace for external dining and landscaped public space for Dun Laoghaire.

Covering

The lifting and placement of the concrete deck beans/slabs will be scheduled on the nights of 25 July and 1 August 2009. There will then be two to three weeks of cleanup operations. The hard landscaping will not occur until later in the year. However the area will be made safe and opened to the public for the last week in August to coincide with the Festival of World Cultures.

It is hoped that hard landscaping will commence October 2009, with completion in June/July 2010
