The Georges Dock bridge, located near the IFSC and Connolly Station in Dublin city centre, will be demolished after sustaining significant damage in a recent fire.

This will mean that the Luas Red Line service will not run between Connolly Station and The Point stop until at least the end of November to allow for a new bridge to be built.

Office workers, tourists and pedestrians now have to detour around the dock to gain access to the area. The red line Luas service is also a key mode of public transport for concert-goers attending gigs at the 3Arena.

Trams continue to operate between Tallaght/Saggart and Connolly.

A bus service has been arranged to work as a replacement for the section of the line affected. It will run every 10 minutes and will be wheelchair accessible on the lower deck.

"Following an assessment of the Georges Dock bridge, which was recently damaged in a fire, the bridge has been found to be structurally compromised," a spokesperson for Transdev said.

"The existing bridge will need to be demolished, and a new bridge constructed.

"A programme for a replacement bridge has been developed. This programme shows completion of works at the end of November this year, and Luas Red Line services will remain suspended between Connolly and The Point until that time.

"To ensure continuity of service for passengers, a replacement bus service will operate from Monday, 1st September covering the affected section of the line.

"The service will run every 10 minutes and will operate during Luas operating hours.

"All buses will be wheelchair accessible on the lower deck.

"Valid Luas tickets and TFI Leap Cards will be required to travel.

"Luas staff will be on site to assist passengers throughout the disruption. To facilitate the demolition of the bridge, changes to the overhead power cables will be required.

"This will require a curtailment of Luas services on Tuesday September 2nd and Wednesday September 3rd from 7pm on both days.

"After 7pm services will only run from Saggart and Tallaght to Smithfield. Morning services are unaffected. During these specific shutdowns Luas customers tickets are valid on Dublin Bus

"Regular updates on the bridge replacement will be provided via the official Luas website and social media channels.

"We thank all passengers for their patience and cooperation during this period," the spokesperson said.
