"Luas services between Connolly Station and the Point have remained closed for several weeks after George's Dock Bridge was damaged by a major fire in the Docklands area of Dublin in August. The fire broke out on Mayor Street Lower, at George's Dock near the IFSC building. Gardaí and members of Dublin Fire Brigade attended the scene, with four fire engines, a foam tender and water tanker attended the scene as part of the multi-agency response."
"TII have confirmed the Luas Red line services will reopen to the Point on Friday, November 28. A Luas spokesperson told the Irish Independent that work has been "progressing well" and are now moving into the final stages of construction, which still involves coordination between all key parties and service providers. Recent activity on the site included the bridge reconstruction and structural reinstatement, beam lifting and steel fixing along with ongoing concrete works, including extensive wet pour phases."
Luas Red Line services between Connolly Station and The Point have been closed for several weeks after George's Dock Bridge was damaged by a major fire in August. Emergency services including Gardaí and Dublin Fire Brigade responded with multiple appliances as part of a multi-agency response. A replacement bus service operates for Red Line stops between Connolly and The Point while reconstruction continues. TII confirmed services will reopen to The Point on Friday, November 28. Work has moved into final stages with bridge reconstruction, beam lifting, steel fixing and extensive concrete wet pours. Overhead cable reinstallation is scheduled for November 15, with a temporary Luas suspension between Abbey Street and Connolly from the last tram on November 14 until the first tram on November 16 to facilitate the works. Dynamic testing will take place before services resume and passengers may experience noise and disruption during final construction and commissioning.
