Nassau Street cycle route officially fully changed to two-way cycle path
An upgrade of the 325 metre cycle path on Nassau Street / Leinster Street, including widening the path to allow for two-way cycling and replacing most bollards and planters to concrete kerbs, has been completed.The project included converting the contra-flow cycle path installed during Covid into a two-way cycle path. As reported at the time, the former contra-flow lane was installed after a 32-year wait so the upgrade has been delivered much more quickly.The final adjustments include new traffic signals at the Leinster Street end of the street, at the junction with Lincoln Place (see below). The separate bicycle traffic signals were needed to avoid conflicts with traffic from the same direction that turns left at the junction.Dublin City Council said: Two-way cycle track on Nassau Street and Leinster Street is complete and ready for cyclists! These upgrades are part of the Dublin Active Travel Network, making it safer, easier and more pleasant to walk, wheel or cycle around the city.The quick-build upgrade was started in November 2025 and largely finished by early December, but the cycle track could not officially be made two-way until the new signals were in place.While the 325 metre cycle route has been welcomed, it is not connected to anything at either end.Because of opposition from art traders on Merrion Square who gained support from a number of local councillors the planned and delayed Trinity to Ballsbridge Interim Scheme was cut short. The still delayed route is planned to only run from Holles Street to Lansdowne Road, and that route itself is of a stop-start nature, with sections shared with bus lanes.IMAGES: Dublin City Council.
