Overview

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council are carrying out a Non-Statutory Public Consultation on an Emerging Preferred Concept for a new bridge and associated infrastructure at Druid’s Glen in Cherrywood. The Emerging Preferred Concept relates to Phase 3 of the Druid’s Glen Road which has been partially completed in the form of Phases 1 and 2. The Phase 3 Bridge is a vital piece of infrastructure that will complete the Druid's Glen Road and is required by and included in the adopted Cherrywood SDZ Planning Scheme (2014, as amended). 

The bridge and its associated infrastructure will be a critical enabler for sustainable development in Cherrywood that will unlock access to lands zoned for development and open a much-needed new strategic connection from the N11 into the heart of Cherrywood. It will also help enable the realisation of a balanced and connected transport network that can accommodate Cherrywood’s growth.

This consultation presents an opportunity for people to engage and provide feedback on a Selected Vertical Alignment and an Emerging Preferred Bridge Design Concept.

The public consultation will run from Tuesday 15th July to Thursday 28th August.
