Published on 1st March 2024
Dublin City Council is carrying out winter maintenance operations in accordance with its Winter Maintenance Plan. Weather forecasts, weather conditions and road conditions, continue to be monitored and assessed.
On foot of a Yellow Rainfall Warning issued by Met Éireann, Surface Water Drainage Crews were on site from early morning to deal with localised flooding issues. Crews are currently still working to address flooding issues as they arise and will do so until the rainfall event subsides. Crews will be on call over the weekend. The rainfall will also be monitored on a 24 hour basis.
Road Maintenance Crews and gritters were mobilised early this morning to spread salt on the City’s main roads. This work is presently ongoing. A plan is in place and crews, plant and machinery are available, to continue gritting operations throughout the day and weekend if required.
As it will not be possible to treat all roads and footpaths, road users are advised to exercise caution over the coming days. Updates on weather forecasts and weather warnings are available at www.met.ie and helpful advice is available at gov.ie - Be Winter Ready (www.gov.ie)
