PROjeCT OveRvIeWLu s Cross Cit construction will comm nc in jun 2013. This is on of th l rg stc pit l in stm nt pro cts b ing und rt n b th Go rnm nt o r th n xt f w

rs. Th cost of th pro ct is €368 million nd it is sch dul d to b op r tion l bth nd of 2017.

The Railway Procurement Agency is delivering the project with funding being provided bythe National Transport Authority. The project is being undertaken in close collaboration withDublin City Council who are the administrative body responsible for Dublin City.

This project will link together, for the first time, the two existing Luas lines in the City Centreand will connect Cabra (at Broombridge rail station) to St. Stephen’s Green, joining theexisting Luas line at this location. It will have 13 stops along its route, including serving thenew Dublin Institute of Technology campus at Grangegorman, which will have in excess of20,000 students when completed. The journey time from Broombridge Station in Cabra to St.Stephen’s Green will be approximately 24 minutes.

This new project will create up to 800 jobs during the construction phase with a further 60permanent jobs on completion.

To build a large scale project such as Luas Cross City in a busy city environment is a complextask, but every stage of the project will be managed to ensure that the city continues tooperate and flourish. Shoppers, commuters, workers and tourists will be able to continue toaccess and enjoy the city, while the construction is ongoing. And when the work is finishedthe public transport system of Ireland’s capital city will have a linked Luas network withconnections right into the heart of the city.

1) The Heritage Works to temporarily remove various monuments and statues along the route of thescheme and put them into storage for the duration of the project;

2) The Cellars Infill Works to fill in the sections of cellars/basements which are under footpaths androadways needed for the diversion of utilities from under the proposed tram line;

3) The Utilities Diversion Works to divert the myriad of utilities in the path of the Luas tracks outof the area of the new tracks. This is being undertaken to avoid future service breakages, repairs ordiversions from affecting tram operations;

4) The Main Infrastructure Works, which is the main contract on the project for constructing the trambed, tracks, overhead system, and all of the other civil engineering elements of the works; and

5) The Electrical and Mechanical Systems which covers the installation of the various systemsassociated with powering and operating a light rail system.

C ll r Infill Wor sIn Georgian Dublin it was common to buildcellars that extended under the street in front

of houses. Most of these cellars must be filledin prior to the construction of the Luas CrossCity to create space for the essential diversionof utilities.

Utiliti s Di rsionDuring the construction of Luas Cross City itwill be necessary to divert underground pipesand cables and other services from underneaththe running tracks. This is to prevent futurerepair or maintenance work on these servicescausing tram disruptions.

M in Infr structur Wor sAfter the utilities have been diverted thenew Luas tracks can be constructed, thesupporting structure for the tracks built, newtrack laid and the surrounding roadway andfootpaths reinstated.

Over the years many of these cellar extensions have been closed off by building owners and in somecases filled in. Therefore, it is not possible to identify all of the likely cellars under the roadway andfootpaths just by visiting the buildings along each street. While twenty five cellars have been identifiedalong the route of the Luas Cross City, it is likely that a large number of unknown cellars still exist.

These have to be located and properly treated to ensure that the later utilities diversion works on thestreet can proceed.

The Cellar Works will be commencing from June 2013. The streets affected are: » St. Stephens Green North » Dawson Street » Grafton Street Lower

» Westmoreland Street » Marlborough Street» Parnell Street » Dominick Street

These items will be carefully recorded during dismantling and then put into secure storage during thebuilding activities. Once the construction works are completed, these items will be returned to thestreets and re-erected at locations to be agreed in the future. The key monuments and statues beingremoved are:

1. Lady Grattan Fountain and two associated stone horse troughs from St. Stephen’s Green North;2. The Steine Sculpture at D’Olier Street/College Street island;3. The Thomas Moore Statue and Ulysses Plaque at College Street;

4. The Molly Malone Statue on Grafton Street Lower; and5. Fr. Theobald Mathew Statue on O’ Connell Street.

Other items such as lamp posts, railings, bollards and antique paving will be removed temporarily.

UTILITIeS DIveRSION WORkSTh purpos of th Utiliti s Di rsion Wor s is to r mo th multitud of xistingutiliti s from und r th propos d Lu s tr c s. This wor is b ing und rt n to nsurth t futur wor s to th s utiliti s will not ff ct tr m op r tions.

Given that there is a multiplicity of utilities – water, gas, sewers, power cables, communications cables– under the city streets, this is a significant and complex undertaking. It will involve significant trafficmanagement and will require arrangements that maintain accesses to premises and businesses.

Full excavation of footpaths will be necessary, together with significant parts of the roadway. It willinvolve close cooperation with all of the various utility owners to achieve the efficient relocation of theirservices.

The conclusion of this work will see all of the necessary services moved out of the way of the newLuas tracks, facilitating the later work for the installation of the tram tracks and systems. Giventhe significance of this work, great care and attention is being given to ensuring that the deliveryarrangements for this work are effective and efficient. It is intended that there will be extensivecommunication and engagement at individual street level during these works to ensure that the needsof businesses and premises are addressed.

For the construction work on the city streets, effective management of traffic and transport will be akey objective of the project. A great deal of effort has gone into planning the delivery of the project ina manner which enables construction to proceed efficiently while minimising the level of inconvenienceand disruption that the work will cause. However, it is not possible to construct a project of this scalewithout requiring traffic lanes and portions of streets to be closed off at various times to allow theworks to be undertaken.

While overall plans have been developed, the final details of individual traffic arrangements at eachlocation will be developed by the individual contractors building the project. Each of their proposals willbe subject to detailed review and work will only be undertaken with the specific authorisation of DublinCity Council, in its role as the responsible body for the capital’s streets.

The principles that guide the development of the individual traffic management proposals are:

» Vehicular and pedestrian access to be maintained; » Vehicular access routes for servicing premises to be maintained; » Maintain access routes to the city centre public car parks; » Maintain bus services throughout the works to ensure the continued accessibility of the city centre

by public transport; » Maintain existing footpath widths where possible; and » Provide for kerbside uses including bus stops, loading bays, taxi ranks and parking.

Luas Cross City will bring increased trade to businesses within the city, to shops, theatres andrestaurants, as this new mode of transport will make it much easier for commuters and tourists totravel into the heart of Dublin’s City Centre. For people that work in the city, life will be made easier withincreased options for public transport commuting.

The construction of Luas Cross City is a complex engineering and infrastructural project. A project ofthis type will always create a certain level of disruption during its construction, however, the city willremain open for everyone.

Every effort will be made during construction to limit the amount of disruption to any one area orbusiness. We will work closely with all the partners in the city every step of the way to create a betterand improved public transport system that Dublin and its people value.
