Water Upgrade Works To Continue In Celbridge With The Next Phase Beginning On Friday.

Diversions will be in place.

Uisce Éireann is working in partnership with Kildare and South Dublin County Councils, to deliver "critical sewer network upgrades" in Celbridge. 

The next phase of this project, which will recommence over the coming days, will involve the upgrade of the wastewater network on the Dublin Road, Celbridge (R403).

Since the works commenced in July 2022 more than two thirds of the upgrade works on the Dublin Road (R403) have been completed and it is expected that all works will be completed by early Autumn of this year.

In total, across Celbridge and South Dublin, 5kms of new sewers will be installed.

In order to facilitate this new phase of works between Young's Cross and Lucan Road Junction, Uisce Eireann has announced it will put a road closure in place from 9pm on Friday 28 April until the early morning of Tuesday, 2 May along the Dublin Road (R403) and during the late evening of Friday, 5 May until early morning on Monday, 8 May with a diversion in place via the R404 (Barnhall Road). 

Commenting on the project, Padraig Hanly, Regional Delivery Lead at Uisce Éireann said, “Working with our colleagues in Kildare and South Dublin County Councils, we are very happy with the progress being made on this vital project. A sewer network that is fit for purpose is essential in order to support business and social development in the community. These works will support existing and future residential and commercial development while also improving the overall performance of the sewer network.”

Acknowledging the support of the local community, Padraig added, “We fully understand that the works may cause disruption to commuters and local road users and our crews will continue to make every effort to minimise disruption and complete the project as quickly as possible.  We thank the people of Celbridge for their patience as these works progress and know that the long-term benefits will far outweigh the short-term inconvenience.”
