Construction work on Terenure’s new discount supermarkets is getting closer.
Mannings, the builders for Lidl at the old Sunday World site on Rathfarnham Road, are due on site this Monday, 24th June, to start preparing the site, breaking and clearing the concrete foundations of the old building. This part of the process could be quite noisy and will last about 6 weeks. The widening of the western end of Beechlawn Way will also take place during July and August. Thereafter the new building will arrive in precast form and be erected and fitted out ready for a proposed opening date in December.
The Terenure Residents' Association has assisted nearby residents in making their concerns about pedestrian safety, parking, access and site traffic known to representatives from Lidl and Mannings.
The builders for Aldi in the old tramsheds on Terenure Road East have being doing some preparatory work demolishing the rear of the old Falks Lighting showroom which will allow the front part of the showroom to be relet to another tenant – this was never going to be part of the Aldi store. Aldi have not specified a start date for the work on converting the tramshed building itself.
