'No right turn' off Samuel Beckett Bridge, 'No left turn' off North Wall Quay onto Samuel Beckett Bridge

A few of Live Drive's listeners have recently asked why there is "No Right Turn" off Samuel Becket Bridge and "No Left Turn" off North Wall Quay onto Samuel Becket Bridge. We put the question to Dublin City Council.

As part of the Planning Application process for Samuel Beckett Bridge an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was required. An Bord Pleanála granted the permission with a number of conditions attached, one of which was the ‘no right turn’ in both directions off the Bridge, and ‘no left turn’ onto the Bridge off North Wall Quay.

Dublin City Council implemented the ‘no right turn’ and ‘no left turn’ in accordance with the conditions imposed with the planning permission granted by An Bord Pleánala. The bridge was intended to facilitate the orbital route traversing the City from North to South and visa-versa. It was never intended that traffic which uses the Eastlink daily, travelling from North to South of the Liffey, would divert onto the Bridge. This would increase the volume of traffic in the South East Inner City and have an adverse effect on residents there considerably.

It should also be noted that during the public consultation phase held at the time, traffic noise and volume levels would have been a factor for consideration for residents living in the vicinity of the Bridge with regard to the EIS.

Remember Remember the month of Mo-Vember

Its that time of year, men begin to sprout facial hair in the name of charity, yes folks its M0vember.

Our very own, Bewilderbeast is going to shave his beard and grow a moustache for charity and he is looking to you, yes YOU! the live drive listener to do your part and give to charity in support of him bearing all.

His rosie cheeks haven't been clean shaven in 5 years, we aren't really sure what he looks like under there! (see below)



Anyway we will photograph his ever growing moustache day by day slowly revealing his shame right here on our blogg. Begining with full beard and covering 30 days of growth until he becomes a true throw back.

All that's left to do is for John to chose what style he should have and for you to click on the link and give generously
