Monitoring along the 9km route of Line B of the proposed light rail system from Sandyford to St Stephen’s Green continued in 2002. The route follows that of the old Harcourt Street line and uses its cuttings and embankments. In most cases it was found that the 19th-century railway works had removed any archaeological deposits that may have survived.
The monitoring of service diversions along the western side of St Stephen’s Green and Harcourt Street did not reveal any archaeological deposits. Ground reduction of 0.6m for the track construction from the Grand Canal to St Stephen’s Green is being monitored at the time of writing.
