Luas Works Are Ramping Up A Gear On O'Connell Street
Track laying work for the cross city Luas line is kicking off today.
Commuters can expect some traffic disruption.
The work along O'Connell Street will be happening in 100 metre sections, starting just north of the Spire this morning.
It will take 10 to 12 weeks before the rail tracks will be in place
Eventually the existing Green and Red lines will be connected through the city centre before continuing north to the new DIT campus at Grangegorman, ending at Broombridge.
This stage of the project comes ahead of the ban coming into effect next Monday on public cars travelling through College Green between 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday to facilitate works.
Meanwhile the public has until this Friday to have their say about the proposed permanent closure of College Green to private cars.
