Something to note if you’re travelling soon.

The Departures Road at Dublin Airport’s Terminal 1 will be temporarily closed from April 17 until the end of May between 23.30 and 03.00 every Monday to Thursday night to allow for upgrade works to Terminal 1.

Between 19.00 and 23.30 of each night during these renovations, the T1 Departures Road will be reduced to one lane of traffic. A full closure of the Departures Road is required from 23.30 until 03.00.

The reduced access is required to facilitate the construction of a safety platform to allow repair works overhead to proceed safely to the façade of T1. The construction work will also include repairs to the concrete fins on the exterior of T1 and spot repairs to some steel columns and beams.

During the road closure, Dublin Airport will provide an alternative set down area for customers departing from Terminal 1. This will be located at the rear of the Terminal 1 multi-storey car park in lanes 2 and 4.

A dedicated traffic management plan will be put in place each night at 19.00 and removed at 03.00.

New signage and traffic marshals will also be in place to assist customers throughout the works. Vehicles with a permit to access the Arrivals Road will not be affected.

The repair work to the façade facing the Departures Road will begin on May 25 and is due to be completed by late June 2018. There will be no impact to the Departures Road access during this phase of the work and the repairs to all four façades of the building will be completed in September 2018.
