About BusConnects
BusConnects is a city shaping mega project that will significantly improve public transport, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across Greater Dublin.
BusConnects will deliver reliable and more frequent bus services across 12 new corridors across the city, which will include the construction of 230 kilometres of bus corridors and 200 kilometres of cycle lanes.
NTA will kick start construction across two schemes from mid-2025, with Ballymun/Finglas and Liffey Valley to City Centre to be the first schemes to begin construction.
BusConnects will drive positive change in our streets and suburbs by building the infrastructure Dublin needs to improve journey times, improve cycling and pedestrian facilities and make our growing city a better place to live and work.
Liffey Valley to City Centre
The Liffey Valley to City Centre scheme is the first of twelve Core Bus Corridors to begin construction in the Greater Dublin Area as a part of the BusConnects project. The scheme totals in 18.4 kilometres of bus corridors in both directions, aiming to include provision of necessary bus, cycle, and walking infrastructure enhancements.
The scheme will begin at Fonthill Road, tying into the new Liffey Valley Shopping Centre bus interchange. From there, the route will continue south towards Coldcut road, through Ballyfermot village and onto Sarsfield Road. The scheme then continues through Grattan Crescent, Emmet Road, and James’s Street before reaching Thomas Street and High Street. From High Street, it will join the existing city centre traffic system.
Construction Stage
Construction on the Liffey Valley to City Centre Scheme is expected to begin in mid-2025.
We will continue to keep the community updated on all the latest aspects of the project, including when works will begin.
