The route then turns in a northerly direction into Sandyford Industrial Estate via Blackthorn Avenue. At the junction with St Raphaela’s Road, the route crosses under the Luas Green line at a level crossing. At the end of St Raphaela’s Road / Kilmacud Road Upper, the route turns west along Lower Kilmacud Road to Drummartin Road. At Goatstown the route turns off Drummartin Road and follows Mount Anville Road and Foster’s Avenue past University College Dublin (UCD) and onto the Stilorgan Road (N11).

The route turns east onto Woodbine Road, Trimleston Park and Trimleston Avenue before joining the Rock Road and travelling north to the DART level crossing at Merrion Gates. The route then follows Strand Road to Sean Moore Park where it turns to the East and skirts the park boundary and follows the route of the shoreline toward the Poolbeg Substation.
