Dublin City Council plans to provide two-way cycling on Chapelizod Hill Road, linking Ballyfermot and Chapelizod and wider planned cycle routes in the area. The short section of route would help link part of the Liffey Valley to City Centre BusConnects Scheme, which is under construction, to existing and planned routes around Chapelizod.The project would include a two-way cycle path along the current short one-way section of the road, and a cycle path in the westbound direction along most of the road from the one-way section to Kylemore Road. The other direction is local access only already. Traffic calming is also planned as part of the project. There are two option in the consuation drawings (see full drawings below) for the westren end of two-way link:IMAGE: An extract from the project drawings showing option one in the main image and option two in the insert image.As well as providing for contra-flow cycling, the two-way cycle path will allow people cycling up the hill a protected route without worrying about traffic behind them along the steeper section of the hill, which has a graident of 12-15%.The overall project will help better connect the BusConnects project with existing and planned routes including the short section of the Liffey Greenway which is in place between Chapelizod and Islandbridge via the National War Memorial Gardens, and the new active travel bridge from the gardens to the Chapelizod Road, where the council plans a two-way cycle path to Parkgate Street.Part of the BusConnects project, the cycle path planned for the Kylemore Road, and this new Chapelizod Hill Road project would form part of the wider Chapelizod to Walkinstown Active Travel Scheme from Walkinstown Roundabout northwards to Chapelizod.Public consultation runs until September 3rd, 2026.
