Resurfacing and new road markings are due by the end of October 2025, when the left-turn lane will be widened to three metres, making the manoeuvre easier for buses.
Bus drivers in Maynooth are struggling to turn left at the Mill Street and Main Street junction.
The problem stems from a temporary narrowing of lanes during construction works for the Mill Street Active Travel Scheme.
Resurfacing and new road markings are due by the end of October 2025, when the left-turn lane will be widened to three metres, making the manoeuvre easier for buses.
Councillor Tim Durkan (FG) raised the matter at a recent district meeting, urging the council to engage with the National Transport Authority and bus operators.
However, Kildare County Council says it is already monitoring the situation and sees no need for further intervention until works are completed.
"The effective lane width for the left turning lane on Mill Street will be increased to 3.0m post re-lining, whilst the straight ahead and right turn lane will be 2.75m in width. This will make the left turn movement easier for buses," a council spokesperson said.
Council officials said the Active Travel Scheme is expected to deliver major improvements for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport in Maynooth once finished.
