In Moyvally, the Royal Canal Greenway has been under construction for a number of years now. An essential foot and cycle bridge was put in near Furey’s Bar, where previously walkers had to cross the busy regional road.
Minister Martin Heydon informs me that Kildare County Council has been allocated National Transport Authority funding of €3,750,000 towards the completion of the Royal Canal Greenway.
Combined with the Barrow Blueway and the Grand Canal Greenway, Kildare will have a fine network of walking and cycling routes for years to come. The National Planning Framework plans for the interconnecting of Greenways using Peatways through the bogs, which we are starting to look at in West Kildare already.
