    The project involves the design, statutory approval and construction of segregated cycle lanes from the Bridge of Peace along the old Dublin Rd (now the R132) and terminating at MacBride Railway Station (approximately 1.55km). The scheme also considers improved cycle facilities from the Boyne Viaduct on Marsh Road and terminating at Mary St. Junction approximately (0.8km).

    On this project we are working towards the upgrade of junctions to better facilitate pedestrian/cyclist/transport movement along this route, slowing the existing off-peak traffic speeds along the R132, an introduction of a shift in current transport modes along this route from Car to more sustainable cycle alternative, creating a linkage with proposed Bettystown/Mornington Greenway and creating a linkage between MacBride Station and Drogheda Bus Station.

    Upon completion, the Drogheda and East Meath communities will have better access to sustainable travel options.
