HEADED ITEM: W. Purcell

Fortunestown Lane light Segregation cycle scheme

REPLY:

Summary:

Fortunestown Lane runs from Garter lane at Citywest Hotel to the Outer Ring Road at Brookfield. The first 500m of this road as shown on the Plan below has an off road cycle path on the south side. The northern cycle path is on road and unsegregated.

Project

SDCC observed that the road width of 9.0m was heavily biased in term of motorized vehicles and so applied to NTA for support in delivering a 1.8m on road segregated cycle scheme from A to B and C to D. See attached plan.

Our application for funding was approved by the NTA.

Delivery:

This 500m route was completed using a Dowel-Rebar-Shutter-Concrete method over about 12 days in early February. There was extensive line marking adjustments required in advance of the works and these required significant traffic management. Bollards were placed in every second drainage slot or 12m centres. The works are npw complete.

Please see the attached photographs which illustrate the completed project.
