Luas Red Line re-opens ahead of schedule after works

Seven city centre stops on the Red Line, which were closed for construction works, are now back in operation ahead of schedule.

It was previously estimated that the closure would be in place until the end of July, to facilitate Luas cross-city construction work on O’Connell Street and Marlborough Street.

 However, the stops from Abbey Street to The Point reopened yesterday.

During the temporary closure, a bus service operated from Bachelor’s Walk, close to the Jervis stop, to Castleforbes Road, close to The Point stop.

It returned from Mayor Street Upper, close to The Point stop, to Crampton Quay, close to the Jervis stop, serving stops along the quays.

The new cross-city line will intercept the Luas red line going north on O’Connell Street and going south on Marlborough Street. It will then connect both the Red and Green Lines.

Luas has apologised for any inconvenience caused during the works and has thanked customers for their patience and co-operation.
