North Circular Road (Dorset Street Lower to Amiens Street) Active Travel Scheme
The North Circular Road (Dorset Street Lower to Amiens Street) Active Travel Scheme will provide improved walking and cycling facilities along a 1 kilometre section of North Circular Road and Portland Row. This scheme is currently in the Preliminary Design phase.
This scheme forms part of Dublin City Council’s 314km Active Travel Network. To see where it fits into this citywide network, you can view our interactive GIS map.
The Active Travel Programme Office and its appointed consultants are currently developing the scheme’s preliminary design.
The scheme will connect the existing segregated cycle tracks on Amiens Street and North Strand Road with the proposed Swords to City Centre BusConnects route at Dorset Street Lower.
Key features of the scheme include the following:
- Protected cycle lanes in both directions
- Redesigned junctions to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety
- Continuous footpaths across side roads, where appropriate
- Widening of footpaths at existing narrow sections
- New and upgraded bus stops
- More planting and green space where suitable
- Local footway / roadway repairs
Following the completion of the preliminary design, a public information event is scheduled to take place in July 2025. This event will provide an opportunity for local residents and businesses to review the proposals and engage directly with the project team.
All future updates regarding this project, including information about the forthcoming public information event, will be provided on this webpage.
