The Liffey Valley to City Centre Core Bus Corridor Scheme will support integrated sustainable transport usage through infrastructure improvements for active travel (both walking and cycling), and the provision of enhanced bus priority measures for existing (both public and private) and all future services who will use the corridor. It commences at Fonthill Road and proceeds along Coldcut Road, Ballyfermot Road, Sarsfield Road, Memorial Road, Inchicore Road, Grattan Crescent, Emmet Road, Old Kilmainham, Mount Brown, James’s Street, Thomas Street and High Street.
The aim of the Scheme is to provide improved walking, cycling and bus infrastructure on this key access corridor in the Dublin region, which will enable and deliver efficient, safe, and integrated sustainable transport movement along the corridor. The Proposed Scheme is a key measure that delivers on commitments within the National Development Plan (2021-2030), the Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area (2016-2035) the Climate Action Plan (2021) and the National Planning Framework 2040.
