Why is this scheme needed? 

To make Seatown Road safer for everyone, particularly those walking and cycling, we are proposing cycle lanes, traffic calming and road layout improvements from the entrance to Seatown Road at Seatown Roundabout to the roundabout at the junction with Estuary Road. Works are expected to take approximately 3 months and will begin in Q3 2023. 

Fingal County Council is proposing changes to reduce traffic speed and improve road safety along Seatown Road, particularly for people walking or travelling by bike by upgrading and extending existing cycle lanes along this full road length. 

Whether you are heading to sport, travelling to the shops, or commuting, cycling, and walking are free, healthy, and environmentally friendly ways to travel. The proposed works are in line with a vision for active and sustainable travel that contributes to safer routes to school, supports better mental and physical health, and protects our climate by reducing carbon emissions. 

Works proposed include 

  • Adding cycle lanes on both sides of the road 
  • Giving higher priority to those cycling and walking in the area 
  • Widening the footpath under the bridge to make room for those walking 
  • Upgrading roundabouts at Swords Business Campus and Estuary Road to cycle-friendly roundabouts with safe pedestrian crossings on all exits 

 

DRAWINGS OF PROPOSED WORKS CAN BE FOUND AS A PDF ON THE RIGHT OF THIS PAGE IN THE MATERIALS SECTION.
