ABOUT ORMOND QUAY
Ormond Quay is a significant part of Dublin’s cityscape, located on the north bank of the River Liffey. It’s part of the Dublin quays, which run along the north and south banks of the River Liffey. The quays have played an important part in Dublin’s history. Ormond Quay, divided into Ormond Quay Upper and Ormond Quay Lower, is part of the continuous streets that stretch approximately 4.3 km from Sean Heuston Bridge in the west.
One notable building on Ormond Quay is the 19th-century merchant building at 18 Ormond Quay. This building was meticulously restored by the Dublin Civic Trust, which won a European Heritage Award/Europa Nostra Award 2021 for its sensitive conservation. The restoration highlighted how these modest street buildings collectively shape the essential identity of Dublin.
As for the traffic flow changes, there are plans to change the traffic flow in Dublin city centre, including Ormond Quay. The Dublin City Centre Transport Plan, announced last year, detailed plans to reduce the number of cars in the city centre. The changes to traffic management and road layouts are expected to take effect from August. The plan aims to remove traffic travelling through the city centre using a number of measures, including putting bus gates on the quays. These changes are part of a broader effort to reduce congestion, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and prioritise pedestrians, public transport, and cyclists. Please note that the exact details of the changes on Ormond Quay are not specified in the sources I found. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, I recommend checking with the Dublin City Council or the Department of Transport.
