Primary tabs

This scheme will provide a pedestrian and cycle route from Newbridge House and Farm in Donabate to the county boundary north of Balbriggan, passing through Rush, Loughshinny and Skerries along the way. The proposed design is suitable for people of all ages and mobility levels and offers a safe route where the scenic coastline can be enjoyed as part of your commute, for leisure, exercise or to visit your local village.


Following a Feasibility & Constraints Assessment and a Route Options Public Consultation, the project team now presents the Emerging Preferred Route for Public Consultation. We want your feedback as we move towards preliminary design in 2023.
