The first major roadworks to facilitate the construction of the new cross city Luas line will begin this week.
The move is due to cause some disruption to traffic and taxi services in the city centre.
Work will begin at 6 sites from St Stephens Green to Parnell Street in the coming days for the next phase of works to link up the two luas lines.
Traffic will be restricted, footpaths will be closed and taxi ranks will be moved to allow gas, electricity and water pipes to be taken out of the way.
At 5 of the work sites (St Stephens Green North, Grafton Street lower, Westmoreland Street, Hawkins Street and Parnell Street) the number of traffic lanes will be reduced but there will be no road closures.
Where footpaths are closed alternative pedestrian access will be provided.
Access to businesses near the works will be maintained at all times.
At the 6th sites around the spire, the road will be closed but only at night over weekends, while some taxi ranks will be moved on a phased basis as the work requires.
