Amiens Street Delta Junction & Abbey Street Stop Enhancement
One of the major challenges for the project team will be the installation of a new three-way Luas Trackwork system at Amiens Street and Mayor Street. This junction will allow trams coming from Busaras to go to Connolly Stop or to proceed directly towards The Point. It is intended to install the bulk of the new track-work across Amiens Street from late June 2008 until the end of August 2008, as these are traditionally the periods when traffic volumes are lowest. RPA and the contractors are finalising discussions with the local authorities to agree the traffic management and diversion routes for this area during these works.

While these works are being carried out it will be necessary to terminate the Luas Red Line trams at Abbey Street Stop. This change is expected to take place from mid June. Works will be carried out in May 2008 and June 2008 at the Abbey Street Stop to increase the passenger capacity of Abbey Street Stop. RPA and Veolia are liaising with Dublin City Council, and affected stakeholders to minimise the disruption to customers.
