Work is underway on the €30m Broadmeadow Greenway (shared footpath and cycleway) which will link Malahide and Donabate across the Broadmeadow Estuary.
The Broadmeadow Greenway will connect Malahide Demesne and Newbridge Demesne and form part of the Fingal Coastal Way, which will run all the way from Sutton to Balbriggan. This route is a key component of NTA’s Greater Dublin Area Cycle Network.
The greenway will be constructed over several years. The outline programme, which is subject to change, is as follows:
Detailed design works: 2022-2025
Advance works contracts including fencing and utilities: 2022-2024
Land acquisition, legal issues, foreshore consent 2022-2024
Procurement of main work contracts: 2023-2025
Main Works: 2024-2026.
