Dublin City Council Traffic Department would like to announce the introduction of the next  measure contained in the Dublin City Transport Plan 2023 which will come into effect on 25th May 2025.

On 25th May, a traffic change will be implemented at the junction of Westland Row and Pearse Street. Only public transport, taxis and cyclists will be allowed to turn left from Westland Row onto Pearse Street. A new right turn for general traffic (cars and delivery vans) will be introduced at this junction and the section of Pearse Street from Westland Row to Sandwith Street will be made two-way. Existing traffic measures and access from Lombard Street East and Sandwith Street Upper are maintained.

Access will be maintained to Westland Row for traffic due to the height of other railway bridges in the area. This will allow the use of Westland Row by high sided vehicles while ensuring that public transport will be prioritised. Westland Row will no longer be a through route to Pearse Street There are no changes to disabled bays, loading bays or taxi ranks. 

The anticipated reduction in general traffic resulting from this measure along Pearse Street from Westland Row and onto Tara Street will allow for opportunities on these streets to be reimagined with better walking and cycling facilities alongside the high priority afforded to public transport in the future.

The hours of operation for these new restrictions will be 24 hours Monday to Sunday.
