Dundalk Bay to Carlingford Greenway

Introduction

Louth County Council, with the support of Transport Infrastructure Ireland, is developing proposals for the Dundalk Bay to Carlingford Greenway project. 

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 limited 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. 

Public Consultation No. 3 (Emerging Preferred Route Corridor) is now live.

Please or the Public Consultation tab of the website to access the display material, view the Interactive Map and make a submission.

If you would like to discuss any aspects of the Emerging Preferred Route Corridor, the following communication channels will be available during the Public Consultation:

→ Telephone Call: Between 9:30am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday.

→ Online Meetings: Available on request and meetings will take place using Web Facilities.

→ Physical Meetings: For those who specifically wish to meet with the Project Team, in-person meetings can be facilitated. Group attendees will be limited to a maximum of 4 individuals per group.

Pre-booking is essential for all calls/meetings. To book a callback or meetings please contact the Project Liaison Officer between 9:30am and 5:00pm Monday to Friday from 25th November on - Phone: 087 601 1384.
