Ongar Barnhill Link Road
Friday, March 8, 2024
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.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.
