CYCLE TRACKS, WALKING routes and the completion of a new bridge across the Liffey will account for some of a new investment in sustainable transport projects in the Greater Dublin region.
In total, the Department of Transport today announced that over €32.5 million will be spent on nearly 200 projects.
As well as completion of the new bridge, there will also be work to remove the bottleneck at the Cat & Cage on the Drumcondra Road and a cycle bridge over the Dodder.
Funding has been allocated for 193 projects at various stages of design, planning, and construction in the four Dublin local authorities, and in Kildare, Meath and Wicklow.

Transport Minister Leo Varadkar says that cycling was a key concern in awarding the funding.
“From the Government’s point of view it makes sense to invest in cycling because it’s effective, it’s healthy and it’s also extremely efficient. The single best way to tackle traffic congestion is to support people who get out of their cars and on to bikes, buses, or other alternatives.
“It also makes the city a nicer place to live, to work and to visit, whether as residents or tourists.”
