During the construction period, part of the Iarnród Éireann-owned car park will be used as a construction compound, temporarily reducing parking capacity.
Iarnród Éireann is set to commence significant accessibility improvements at Athy Station on October 14th.
The upgrades include the construction of a new footbridge with two 13-person lifts, enhanced platform fencing, redesigned accessible parking, and upgraded station lighting.
Improvements will also be made to wayfinding, including tactile signage and a tactile map at the station entrance.
Additional help points and induction loops will be installed to support the existing public address system.

However, parking is expected to meet demand throughout the project.
The upgrades are part of a broader national initiative to enhance accessibility across Ireland’s rail network, funded by the National Transport Authority.
Other Kildare stations, including Hazelhatch & Celbridge, Newbridge, and Maynooth, are also undergoing lift upgrades as part of the nationwide "Big Lift" programme, which aims to improve lift availability and reliability for mobility-impaired customers at 52 stations.
