Ireland – Construction work – DCC Contract for Construction of the North Circular Road (Dorset Street Lower to Amiens Street) Active Travel Scheme

Description

Dublin City Council aims to enhance the quality of life for its residents by developing an integrated Active Travel Network. This comprehensive network is designed to foster connections among individuals via pedestrian pathways, segregated cycle provision and other environmentally friendly transportation alternatives. The enhancement of accessibility and interconnectivity for people walking, wheeling and cycling within this network is anticipated to play a pivotal role in mitigating carbon emissions originating from transport activities. The Council’s objective is to augment the existing 40km network into a seamlessly connected 314km network spanning the entire city. The North Circular Road (Dorset Street Lower to Amiens Street) Active Travel Scheme is one of the projects identified under this initiative. The North Circular Road (Dorset Street Lower to Amiens Street) Active Travel Scheme extends along North Circular Road and Portland Row, between Dorset Street Lower and Amiens Street, for a length of approximately 1.1km. The scheme includes the provision of segregated cycle facilities, improved pedestrian facilities (footpath and junction upgrades), ducting, carriageway resurfacing, etc.. The scheme also includes the upgrade of three signal-controlled junctions to improve pedestrian and cyclist facilities; the three junctions are at Belvedere Place, Fitzgibbon Street and Summerhill. It also ties into two further junctions at Dorset Street Lower and at Amiens Street (The Five Lamps) junction. The scheme comprises the following:- Reconfiguration of Carriageway for Inclusion of Cycle Lanes - Site Clearance - Pavement Works - Kerbs and Footways - Traffic Islands - Public Lighting - Traffic Signs and Road Markings - Drainage Works - Traffic Signals and Ducting - Utilities - Landscaping and Public Realm Works - Bus Shelters (foundations only) - Bike Stands - Temporary Traffic Management.
