Louth County Council, with the support of Transport Infrastructure Ireland, is developing proposals for the Dundalk Bay to Carlingford Greenway project and the period for public submissions closes on Friday September 6th.
Louth County Council acknowledges all submissions made during the non-statutory process for the proposed Carlingford to Dundalk Greenway, including those which have been delivered to County Hall today, Friday 30th August 2024.
Louth County Council welcomes this public feedback, as it will be used to assist the design team in determining the Preferred Route Corridor which will be presented at the Third Public Consultation, envisaged to take place later this year.
The council extended the original closing date for submissions by five weeks to Friday 6th September 2024 and has made drawings and brochures available on the dedicated project website www.dundalkcarlingfordgreenway.ie which are available for viewing by the general public.
The study area for the proposed greenway project encompasses the Regional Centre of Dundalk and the coastal town of Carlingford, along with the interconnecting road network.
The R173 Regional Road is the main route connecting Dundalk with Carlingford. The R173, along with other regional and local roads in the study area have no provision for pedestrians and cyclists. High vehicle speeds, narrow road widths and lack of segregated facilities make the road network unattractive for pedestrians and cyclists.
