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. 

Publication of Option Selection Report and Preferred Route Corridor

We would like to thank all of those who made submissions and attended the various consultation meetings during public consultation No. 3 on the Emerging Preferred Route Corridor. The PC3 Feedback report has been finalised and is now available on the Project Website to view here.

Following Public Consultation Report No. 3, the Options Report has now identified the Preferred Route Corridor. Please note that this is still typically a 50m wide corridor (although wider at some locations) and is the corridor within which the greenway alignment will be developed at the next phase, Phase 3 – Design and Environmental Evaluation.

The Options Report and Preferred Route Corridor have now been published and can be viewed on the Publications Tab of the project website here, or in hard copy at Louth County Council offices below:
