Option D: North Wall to Poolbeg

Option D : North Wall to Poolbeg

Option D leaves the North Wall substation heading east on Alexandra Road. The route turns north up Branch Road North to Tolka Quay Road. It follows Tolka Quay Road and turns south onto Terminal Road North and then Terminal Road South. It follows this road to the car park adjacent to the Irish Ferries Terminal.

Here the route continues southwards and crosses under the Lower Liffey Estuary towards Poolbeg. At Poolbeg the route emerges on the east side of the open land adjacent to Celtic Anglian Water on Pigeon House Road. The crossing methodology will most likely be Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and site investigations will determine the preferred crossing route. The route then follows the shoreline past the old Poolbeg Power station and joins Pigeon House Road before continuing to the Poolbeg substation.
