Routes to avoid around the country
DUBLIN:
Reuben Street is closed between Pricewyse Stores and St James's Walk until April 17th, 2007 for Herberton Phase 2 Construction Works, part of the Fatima Regeneration Project.
The carriageway has been closed to traffic, although pedestrian access has continued. But pedestrian access will no longer be allowed through this portion of Reuben Street which will be fully incorporated into the building site.
Pedestrians are diverting from Reuben Street via newly constructed Reuben Walk to St James's Walk. However, remedial work is required to be carried out along this route and accordingly access for pedestrians will be maintained along the existing route at Reuben Street until these works have been completed. Pedestrians may also use the longer pedestrian route via Dolphin's Barn Street - Vauxhall Avenue - Rosary Road - Our Lady's Road to St James's Walk.
Traffic from Dolphin's Barn to St James's Walk is diverting via Marrowbone Lane or Rialto Street.
Vehicles travelling northbound along South Circular Road divert via Rialto Street to St James's Walk.
