Dublin is gearing up for the UEFA Europa League final on Wednesday night as Atalanta & Bayer Leverkusen face off for European silverware.
It is the second time Dublin has hosted the Europa League final after 2011, when Porto beat Braga 1-0 after a goal from Radamel Falcoao.
In preparation for the final, Dublin City Council (DCC) said they would like to inform the public that established match practices at the Aviva Stadium and surrounding areas for the UEFA Europa League Final 2024 will differ from normal.
This is due to the different profiles in attendees, mobility patterns and ticketing systems.
The game kicks off at 8pm on Wednesday, May 22nd.
DCC said due to the potential for extra time and penalties, it is possible the event will run until approximately 11pm.
A traffic cordon will be established from 3pm at the following locations with all closures controlled by An Garda Síochána:
Access will be maintained for residents in so far as it is safe to do so, on production of valid driving licence and/or proof of address.
It may be necessary to exclude all traffic from the above roads if the volume of pedestrian traffic is such as to be unsafe to allow vehicular traffic access.
This may occur prior to the event when patrons are entering the stadium or after the event when patrons are exiting the stadium.
Lansdowne Road Dart Station will be closed from 4pm on the day of the match due to security reasons.
Dart services will continue as scheduled, but passengers will have to disembark at either Grand Canal Dock or Sandymount stations during these times.
A shuttle bus for people with a mobility impairment will operate between Sandymount Dart Station and the Sandymount Hotel.
