A whole year (at least!) to upgrade a mile of road, and they can't even keep it open for traffic. Dun Laoghaire Rathdown are just so incompetent, and don't give a damn about the people who use the roads.
Closing one of the major commuter routes from 8am to 6pm - these guys are having a laugh at us! And at the same time the Luas construction is causing traffic chaos on the proposed diversion route, with closed lanes at the Leopardstown Road / Brewery Road roundabout, extra traffic on this road and on Drumartin Link Road / Beacon Court junction because they have closed the Glenamuck Road over the old railway line. Easy to know the county management live in the Dun Laoghaire / Dalkey side of the county.
But I'm not at all surprised. Take for example the bus lane on the Wyckham bypass - announced less than 6 months after the road opened, and requiring an extension to the bridge to accommodate the bus lanes, not to mention digging up the road for a year (though at least they kept it open!) Take for example the bus lane on Enniskerry Road that no buses will run on. Take for example the bus lane on Blackthorn Drive into Sandyford Industrial Estate that was never opened as a bus lane and is now gone.
These guys are muppets!
