The much-anticipated Celbridge Link Road has opened.
The new route is set to relieve traffic congestion in Lucan by providing an alternative route to the N4. The new link will likely reduce pressure on places like Dodsboro and the Newcastle Road.
The road was due to open before Christmas but hit a couple of construction issues. The Celbridge link road was funded through an overall allocation of over €10 million from Government for parks and roads in Adamstown.
