During this temporary closure Luas Red Line services will operate to / from Jervis stop and a replacement bus service will be provided for people using all stops east of Jervis. The bus stops will be located on the Quays a short walking distance from the closed Luas stops. The replacement bus service will start on Bachelor’s Walk near Jervis, serve 5 stops along the quays and then terminate on Castleforbes Road near The Point. The return service will start on Mayor Street Upper near The Point, serve 4 stops along the quays and then terminate on Crampton Quay across the Liffey River from Jervis.
These temporary Luas stop closures are necessary to facilitate Luas Cross City construction works on O’Connell Street and Marlborough Street. Luas Cross City will cross the Luas Red Line going north on O’Connell Street and going south on Marlborough Street. These works will install new Luas tracks and power cables at the junction of O’Connell Street and Abbey Street and the junction of Marlborough Street and Abbey Street where the Green Line will cross the Red Line.
