A major set of road works is to commence on the Sallins Road / M7 motorway bridge during the months of July and August. The works are being carried out by the NRA and involve essential maintenance and safety upgrades that are now due.
Traffic Impact: The project will start on August 6th and will run for between 8-10 weeks. For the first two weeks ONLY the bridge will employ a one-way system with traffic flowing from Sallins->Naas but not back from Naas->Sallins. For that two week window, an official detour has been set up via Kill / Straffan though it is expected that local traffic will use one of the many shorter, alternate routes with the detour mainly being taken up with HGVs and bus traffic. After the first two weeks traffic will flow in both directions as normal during day time. The works will go on 24 hours a day and a traffic light system will be occasionally used between the hours of 8pm-6am. Pedestrians will be able to walk across the bridge at all times including the one way fortnight.

Sallins Road Upgrade
Plans have existed to upgrade the Sallins Road between Naas and Sallins for at least two years. The initial plan was to upgrade the road corridor all the way from Poplar Square in Naas out as far as the train station in Sallins with funding provided by the NTA as part of a public transport investment. This would allow better movement for cars, buses and cyclists.
