MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, October 29, 2025

QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor C. Brady

To ask the Chief Executive whether there is a plan to improve infrastructure along the R403 Celbridge Road. If so, can the Chief Executive provide outline details of the plan, including any proposed works—such as the installation of a footpath / cycle path between the N4 Celbridge interchange and Backweston Park—and the expected timeframe for delivery?

REPLY:

Footpaths are provided between the N4 interchange and Cooldrinagh Lane and at the Celbridge Link Road Adamstown where access is provided to the bus stops on the R403 Celbridge Road.

Between Weston and the Link Road the R403 Celbridge Road is of rural nature without any frontal development as lands are occupied by Lucan Golf Course and Weston Airport. There are no proposals to provide footpaths or cycle tracks along this section of Celbridge Road.

The Cycle South Dublin program includes a cycle route the between the Celbridge Link Road Adamstown and the county boundary with County Kildare at Backweston Park. The development of a cycle track would, by necessity, require the completion of a continuing cycle track scheme to Celbridge by Kildare County Council. Should such a scheme be progressed by Kildare County Council, a scheme in line with Cycle South Dublin will be developed.
