Dublin City Council has been taking advantage of the much quieter roads during the current Covid19 lock-down period to install some long-overdue cycling infrastructure in the city centre.
As these photos and video show, preparatory work has begun on the road surface along the north quays for the Liffey cycling route.
And on the south side of the city a contraflow cycle lane, segregated from ongoing traffic, has been installed on Nassau St.
That lane extends around onto Kildare St and will eventually run to Dawson St.

The work on the contraflow cycle lane also includes works to create extra space for pedestrians; taking space from vehicles for sustainable transport, including the loss of 14 parking spaces to walk way for people walking and cycling.
On the north side of the city, the works being performed on the quays, at Ormond Quay Upper and Inns Quay, are the first step towards putting in place the temporary Liffey cycle route.
Both the contraflow cycle lane on Nassau St and the Liffey cycle route have long been campaigned for by the Dublin Cycling Campaign, which is enjoying a double success at present.
