Uisce Éireann says temporary disruptions in Celbridge and Leixlip are needed to support housing growth and upgrade critical infrastructure through to 2027
Temporary road closures are set to come into effect in parts of North Kildare as Uisce Éireann continues a series of major infrastructure upgrades aimed at supporting housing and population growth in the area.
The closures will impact routes in Celbridge and Leixlip as part of works linked to the Crodaun Wastewater Network Upgrade, the Maynooth Transfer Pipeline Project and the Confey Road Water Upgrade.
The projects form part of Uisce Éireann’s national Growth and Development Programme, which is designed to address capacity constraints and facilitate new homes and business development.
Under the plans, a section of the R405 in Celbridge, between Castletown Drive and Aghards Road, will be closed from March 30th until June 16th to allow for wastewater network works.
Meanwhile, the R149 between Captains Hill and Confey will close from March 30th to April 10th to facilitate pipeline and water upgrade works.
Diversions will be clearly signposted for the duration of the closures, with local and emergency access maintained at all times.
Uisce Éireann says the works are necessary to ensure the network can meet future demand. In a statement, spokesperson Ciaran Ryan said efforts are being made to minimise disruption, including scheduling works during school holidays where possible and coordinating with local stakeholders as the projects progress.
The works are being carried out by Coffey Construction and are expected to continue in phases, with overall completion due in early 2027.
Residents living near the works will be contacted in advance as construction reaches their area, while updates on traffic management are to be provided throughout.
