Option A : Finglas to North Wall

Option A commences at the Finglas substation and crosses under the M50 using the service tunnels at the M50/R135 junction. The route travels south along North Road, Finglas Bypass and Finglas Road. On Finglas Road the route crosses the Tolka River.

The route crosses over two railway bridges and turns in an easterly direction onto the Royal Canal greenway. On this section, the route aligns with the current Royal Canal greenway Phase 3 upgrades, which provides 2.1km of high-quality footpath and cycle track along the banks of the canal. As part of these upgrades, advanced ducting is being placed along the Royal Canal greenway. This greatly improves the deliverability of this section.

The route follows the Royal Canal greenway to Sheriff Street Upper, where it crosses Spencer Bridge. At the junction with East Wall Road, the route turns north onto East Wall Road and then east onto Alexandra Road as far as the North Wall substation.
