"Commuters travelling into Dublin city from the northside are being warned to expect months of major disruption from next month as works begin on a €25m water infrastructure project along Clontarf Road. The replacement of the key water main is due to begin just over a year since the completion of the segregated two-way Clontarf cycleway, which also involved the replacement of old water mains and which caused rolling traffic disruption for around four years."

Commuters travelling into Dublin city from the northside should expect months of major disruption from next month as works begin on a €25m water infrastructure project along Clontarf Road. The project will replace a key water main. The replacement is scheduled just over a year after completion of the segregated two-way Clontarf cycleway. The cycleway work also included replacement of old water mains and caused rolling traffic disruption for around four years. Local people are asking why the new works could not have been combined with flood defence works or with the earlier cycleway works that replaced 6.5km of mains.
