Dublin Bus routes face temporary rerouting on Saturday
Five key Dublin Bus routes will follow altered paths next Saturday due to a Molesworth Street closure. The diversions will affect journeys to Blanchardstown, Ongar, DCU and beyond between 10am and 5pm.
From 10.00hrs to 17.00hrs on Saturday 10 October 2026, Dublin Bus customers relying on Routes 37, 39, 39a, 44 and 70 will notice a temporary change in their usual journey. The diversion follows the closure of Molesworth Street, prompting a reroute via Kildare Street for services heading towards Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, Ongar, DCU and Dunboyne.
Travellers heading in the opposite direction—towards Wilton Terrace, Burlington Road, UCD Belfield or Enniskerry—will experience no disruption to their normal route. Dublin Bus has confirmed that all affected services will return to their standard paths once the street reopens.
Passengers are advised to allow extra travel time and to check real-time updates on the official Dublin Bus website before setting out. The company has not yet announced whether the closure will extend beyond the scheduled Saturday timeframe.
