Ongar Barnhill Link Road

Construction has begun on the new Ongar Barnhill Link Road. The first phase was completed 10 years ago to allow access to Barnwell and the two schools there.

In this second phase Fingal County Council have contracted BAM Civil Ltd to build a 1.16km four-lane carriageway. Only the southbound carriageway will be built out initially. There is then a further approx. 0.9km of single carriageway road built out to completion, including two signalised crossroads and 3 roundabouts. All roads will include cycle lanes and footpaths.

An important part of the construction will be a new bridge over the Clonsilla-M3 Parkway rail line. The €14m project is expected to take two years to complete. This road will eventually connect to the proposed Kellystown road to run south of the railway from Carpenterstown and Porterstown, providing better connectivity for the Dublin 15 area.

Church Gate - New Housing for Clonsilla

Construction is expected to begin at the site beside Lidl on the link road this summer. This will be named Church Gate. The planning permission granted in 2018 is for 45 no 3 bed houses, 22 no 4 bed houses and 36 apartments in 2 blocks of 3 stories comprising 12 one bed and 24 two bed units (See map on back).

Further up the link road, the final phase of new houses at Castlefield Hall are due to go on sale in late April. I hope these will all be badly needed homes for first time buyers.
