PLANS for a landscape improvement scheme along the Tallaght Bypass (N81) are currently on public display, and are open to observations until January 20.

The landscape improvement scheme, which was allocated a further €250,000 in the council’s budget for 2017, runs along the N81 from the junction with the N82 (Citywest Road) to the M50 and down as far as the junction with Templeogue.

Plans are currently on display in the South Dublin County Council offices in Tallaght, Ballyroan Library, Castletymon Library and the County Library, Tallaght – where they will be available to the public until January 7.

The plans and particulars can also be viewed on the council’s public consultation portal, HERE.

Among the 19 proposed works listed, a new speed reducing traffic table and pedestrian crossing at the Old Bawn road is included alongside the creation of a linear park from the Fortunestown Road to Maplewood and new landscape works at estates including Knockmore, Killinarden, Maplewood and Wellington Lane.

There are also plans to upgrade and realign the existing carriageway from the Belgard Road to the Old Bawn Road, including a widening of the median, alongside the provision of new public lighting, signage, art works, street furniture and associated drainage along the entire route.
