This is a kindly reminder of the upcoming closing date for the above project.
The project’s primary objectives are as follows:
- To improve access between South Docklands and the City Centre in terms of convenience, safety and capacity across all modes but with emphasis on sustainable modes of transportation (walking, cycling and public transport).
- To provide a high-quality public realm aligned with the ambitious redevelopment plans for the area and respectful of the existing community within Docklands. The public realm will seek to achieve the correct balance between hard & soft landscaping, uniqueness and sustainability while also embracing the riverside amenity potential of the area.
To achieve these aims it is proposed to make the following modifications:
- Introduction of a City Centre bound contra-flow bus lane on Victoria Road (North) and Albert Quay.

- Improvement and reconfiguration of Monahan Road / Victoria Road Junction.
- Enhancement of the Old Blackrock Road / Victoria Road Junction.
- Public realm improvements on Albert Quay East, Victoria Rd, Albert Rd, Marina Terrace etc.
- Kennedy Quay access from Albert Quay will be restricted. The primary access to Kennedy Quay will be from Marina Walk.
- Introduction of a new residential access link between Marina Terrace and Rosefield Terrace.
- Footpaths will be widened and repaved for the safety and convenience of pedestrians.
- Crossing facilities will be provided at all junctions for the safety of vulnerable road users.
- All bus stops will be upgraded.
- Public lighting will be renewed, and feature lighting provided.
