Road closures will be in operation from Friday 7th July - Monday 17th July.

Uisce Éireann expects that all works will be completed by the end of September of this year on the Celbridge Local Sewer Network Reinforcement Project.

Since the works commenced in July 2022 nearly 5km of the upgrade work on the Dublin Road (R403) has been completed.

This phase of essential works will involve the final installation of a new rising main sewer pipeline along the R403 (Dublin Road), from the junction of Young’s Cross to the Lucan Road Roundabout.

The delivery of this essential wastewater project will support future economic growth and development, improve the existing sewer network for residents, and protect the environment by reducing the risk of sewer overflows into the River Liffey.

To minimise the impact of the project on local commuters and complete the works as efficiently as possible, two separate weekend road closures in July have been granted by Kildare County Council.

Road closures will be in operation from late evening Friday, 7 July until the early morning of the Monday, 10 July and again late evening of Friday, 14 July until the early morning of Monday, 17 July.

Diversion routes will be in operation during this period and a map illustrating the road closure area and associated diversion routes can be found attached. Emergency traffic and access for residents will be maintained at all times.

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