The next phase will start on 4th July.

Irish Water is working in partnership with Kildare and South Dublin County Council, to deliver the Celbridge Local Sewer Network Reinforcement Project, on the Dublin Road, Celbridge (R403).

The next phase of the project, which is due to begin on the week commencing Monday, 4 of July, will involve the upgrade of the wastewater network on the Dublin Road, Celbridge.

These works will involve construction of almost 5kms of new gravity and rising main sewers.

Irish Water expects this section of works to last at the following location for approximately eight weeks and will require a road closure starting at the junction of the R403 / R405 and progressing along the R403.

A minor diversion route will be in place but local residential access & access to businesses will be maintained for the duration of these essential works.

The remaining element of works progressing along the R403 following the completion of this small section will not require a road closure and will progress under a stop/go traffic management system.

Irish Water has said the delivery of this important wastewater project will support future growth and development, improve the existing sewer network for residents and safeguard the environment by reducing the risk of sewer overflows into the River Liffey.

Irish Water advises that details of the road closures have been communicated locally.

This phase of the project is being delivered by Coffey Construction Limited on behalf of Irish Water.

Irish Water, Kildare County Council and South Dublin County Council regret any inconvenience that this essential project may cause.

The customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact Irish Water on Twitter @IWCare with any queries.

Irish Water is responsible for the delivery of all public water and wastewater services in Ireland.
