About the project
Luas Finglas is a planned extension of the Luas Green Line that will create a new public transport connection between the communities of Charlestown, Finglas Village, Finglas West, St Helena’s, Tolka Valley and the city centre. The proposed route is 4km in length and will include four new stops: St Helena’s, Finglas Village, St Magaret’s, and Charlestown. A 350-space park and ride facility will be provided near the St Margaret’s Road stop and with mainline rail services at Broomsbridge.
Once completed, the Luas Finglas extension will provide 8 trams per hour and reduce journey times between Charlestown and Dublin city centre by up to 14 minutes, compared to car travel.
As a key deliverable of Phase 3 (Preliminary Design) of the NTA Project Approval Guidelines, ChandlerKBS was appointed by Transport Infrastructure Ireland to produce a procurement and contract strategy for the project.
