Glenamuck District Roads Scheme September 2024 Update

BAM Civil Ltd. were awarded the contract by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to
construct the Glenamuck District Road Scheme in Quarter 2 of 2024. The planned duration of
these works is approximately 2 years with an intended completion date during Quarter 2 of
2026.

The works involve constructing a 1.55km road called the Glenamuck District Distributor Road (GDDR) from the existing Enniskerry Road at De La Salle Palmerstown Rugby Club (DLSP) to the existing Glenamuck Road South Roundabout and a ~1.8km road called the Glenamuck Link Distributor Road (GLDR) which runs from the new GDDR to tie in with the existing Enniskerry Road south of Barnaslingan Lane.

A fully signalised junction will be introduced on Ballycorus Road. In addition, the western part of the existing Glenamuck Road will be upgraded between the Golden Ball pub and the Brambledown housing estate.

Progress:

Mobilisation to site commenced in April 2024. This involved erection of the site compound at Carrickmines and general site clearance.

Two public Information Meetings which were held at the De La Salle Palmerston rugby club in May 2024 in advance of the commencement of major works.

Accommodation works associated with De La Salle Palmerstown Rugby Club have been ongoing and a new carpark at this location has been completed.

Construction works in the “greenfield” sections of the project, (areas away from existing public roads) commenced at the beginning of the summer and will be ongoing over the duration of the project. The initial works in these areas involved site clearance and earthworks, with the construction of the road base and new drainage all advancing.

Surveys:

To comply with the project requirements BAM will be undertaking monthly drone surveys of the progress of the works.

Lookahead:

In Quarters 3 & 4 of 2024, works are scheduled to commence at Enniskerry Road at DLSP, Ballycorus Road, Barnaslingan Lane and at some locations off Glenamuck Road.

Removal of trees for the road project will take place on Glenamuck Road, Barnaslingan Lane and at the Enniskerry Road tie-in at the southern end of the site in October 2024.

Traffic management will be in place during tree felling.

Enniskerry Road - Traffic management works in the vicinity of De La Salle Palmerston Rugby Club will start in October 2024 and will continue until February 2025. This will consist of excavation for associated services and creation of a new T-junction.

The tie-in to the new GDDR at the Glenamuck Road South Roundabout will take place in March 2025 and will require traffic management works. The GDDR is due to open to traffic in Quarter 2 of 2025, at which time the existing Glenamuck Road will be closed to through traffic in the vicinity of the entrance to Wayside Celtic Football Club.

Ballycorus Road - Traffic management works here will start in Quarter 4 of 2024 and continue into Quarter 1 of 2025. This will consist of creation of a new crossroads junction with associated services.
