***Works commencing!***
Works are commencing on the DLR Central Scheme on 5th February 2025. They are proposed to continue for approximately 2 years.
The first phase of work will be at the Bakers Corner junction and continue for approximately 3 months. A new temporary traffic signal arrangement will be set up to facilitate the construction. This will remove the left turn slip lane from Rochestown Avenue onto Kill Lane, but left turns will continue to be permitted.
While works are ongoing there will be a temporary loss of capacity at the Bakers Corner junction that will cause significant disruption.
Although traffic management plans will strive to minimise the extent of this disruption, it is advised that members of the public shoild, where possible, take alternative routes to avoid the area.
Works updates will be posted to the website as they are available. A copy of the general arrangement drawings for the scheme is available here.
A traffic management plan will be in place that will include VMS signs further back in the network to notify of disruption.
The contractor is currently seeking a permanent compound location. There will be a satellite compound located in the green space in Rose Park when the works commence. Further details on this compound will be circulated to Rose Park residents via a letter drop.
