Dublin Bus Routes Adjust for Swords Roadworks
Dublin Bus Routes 41c and 41x diverted for six weeks starting Feb 10 due to Swords roadworks
Dublin Bus Routes 41c, 41x Face 6-Week Diversion
Dublin Bus riders heading into the city on Routes 41c and 41x will need to adjust their commutes starting Tuesday, February 10, 2026. The transit agency announced a six-week diversion affecting both routes due to roadworks in the Swords area, with changes taking effect at 10:00 hours. One stop won't be served during the construction period, requiring passengers to use an alternative location.
Roadworks Prompt Route Changes
The diversion affects only city-bound services on the two routes, transit officials said. Roadworks in Swords require buses to temporarily alter their paths through the area, though the agency didn't specify the nature of the construction project. Services traveling toward Swords will continue on their normal routes without any changes. The six-week timeline suggests substantial infrastructure work, though officials haven't released details about what improvements the roadworks will bring to the area.
City-Bound Buses Rerouted via Balheary Road
Buses heading toward the city will be diverted left onto Balheary Road, then onto North Street before returning to their regular route, according to Dublin Bus. Stop 4958 at North Street Park won't be served during the diversion period. Passengers who normally use that stop should instead go to stop 4924 at St Colmcille GAA, which officials identified as the nearest alternative location. The agency didn't say how far passengers will need to walk between the two stops or whether additional service adjustments will accommodate the change.
Diversion Runs Through Late March
The route changes begin at 10:00 hours on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, and are expected to last approximately six weeks, which would extend through late March. Dublin Bus didn't provide a specific end date for when normal service will resume. The agency typically announces diversions several days in advance to give riders time to plan alternative arrangements, though officials haven't said whether additional notifications will be issued as the end of the construction period approaches.
Riders Can Track Service Changes
Passengers affected by the diversion should plan extra time for their journeys, particularly if they need to use the alternative stop location. Dublin Bus said riders can contact the customer service line for additional information, with hours Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 19:00, Saturday from 08:00 to 18:00, and Sunday and public holidays from 10:00 to 18:00. Moovit provides real-time updates for Dublin Bus routes, helping riders track buses during the diversion period and plan trips with current route information.
