Yes I think it must be the crew that recently finished the bit by Little Island, moving down to do the next stretch. Hopefully won't be too difficult for them and will be done soon!
Work is getting underway on a cycle path alongside the railway line across Malahide estuary.
This summer, work finally started on site with the installation of access roads and ground investigations along the rail line in advance of the major construction programme, with the route now scheduled to open in 2026.
This project could be the lynchpin of a cycle route along the entire Dublin coastline north of the Liffey which might eventually connect all the way to Sandycove.
The council hopes to start work on the 8km Sutton to Malahide route in 2026 and complete it by 2028, two years after the Broadmeadow scheme opens.. Ultimately, it will deliver a segregated coastal route all the way from Dublin city centre to Balbriggan and has the potential to stretch even further, north and south, Carroll says.
"At the same time, Fingal County Council had the forethought to ask Irish Rail, as part of the repair work, to sink 11 columns into the sea beside the railway track to allow for the future development of a cycle path."
Forethought is almost unheard of in Ireland, so credit to Fingal Co Co for doing that.
Sorry if this has been asked before (Boards still hasn't figured out how to allow searching within a forum!)... Is there any official website for the Navan/Kingscourt Greenway? I'm finding it very difficult to find out what sections are now open.
I'm wondering if I should set up a new thread for the Royal Canal Greenway? I have some pics to post.
It seems unfair that every road or public transport project gets a separate thread, but every single Greenway in Ireland is lumped into a single thread....?
There's a dedicated one in the cycling forum, but that may not be what you're looking for.
Great thanks. I posted there. Pics below also.

When's that due to (re)open?
Two years!
Wasn't there a small memorial to someone at that bridge? I believe it was a small pair of bronze boots, but never thought to stop and read it. I assume it will be put back when the works are completed.
It was a bronze pair of shoes used to mark the National Famine Way. There is a set also near Louisa Bridge and probably more at other locations.
New bridge being installed at Sallins...
Not every road gets its own thread. We have a dedicated thread for national secondaries. R roads, im pretty sure have no dedicated threads either. Mainly the big-ticket primary routes get a thread and rightly so considering the amount of people (including bus users and cyclists) use them.
If anything the greenways are not inclusive, but thats a spacious argument I accept.
Some greenways are large projects in their own right and could benefit from a separate infrastructure thread.
Nice to see this getting extended
I can't find Cashel, Mayo anywhere near Achill. Can you show me on a map?
Here it is.
The only Cashel I can see is over by Foxford and it's definitely not that one. Maybe it's a typo?
if you put "Cashel Achill" into google maps it finds it immediately. As far as i can tell the new section brings you across the bog to Ted's pub.
Are there any plans to improve the bridge onto Achill for Greenway users?
Not sure why I bothered!
Incorrect, actually.... the prophecy never mentioned a "last" journey, and didn't mention a train at all. And, while the forst train into Achill did carry the dead from the 1894 drowing, the 1937 train carrying the victims of the fire in Scotland travelled over the railway two weeks before it closed. Normal services continued until 30th September that year, while the fire train was on the 17th. The idea that the line was reopened specially is an incorrect nonsense of recent years which appears to have its origin in the extremely badly researched documentary that a shaggy-haired Enda Kenny presented a few years ago..... (he also stated that the line was narrow gauge).......
Boyne greenway refused by ABP
Not sure if it will be possible to mitigate against all the refusal reasons to allow this to go ahead in another form
Wicklow CC have launched a website for their greenway projects:
Responding to a post from 2018. Sweet :)
Athlone to Galway greenway in trouble with the consultants stepping away from the project
Its unusall for a company the size of RPS to walk away. There must of being huge scope change with the council not willing to pay up.
Brutal route anyway. If costs are shooting up it may be wiser to wait until the recession to start it.
Little cynical yes but this craic of going via Gort is cat.
Anyone know if the Naas to Sallins Greenway is reopened.
Had a drive by the road crossings on the Midleton to Mogeely Greenway. Looks like work about to start on the pelican/zebra/pedestrian crossings.
Small chance the project might actually meet its latest finish date for this section (October 2023).
Risoc does that mean they will partly open the greenway to go as far as Mogeely when the crossings are done?
