Wed 12 Dec 2008Work begins on canal's pedestrian and cycle path
WORK HAS begun on the construction of a footpath and cycleway on the Grand Canal to provide a pedestrian and bicycle link between Adamstown, near Lucan, in west Dublin and the city centre.
Dublin City Council says the green route will be equipped with CCTV, fishing stands, street furniture and special facilities for wildlife. The works along an 8.5km (5¼ miles) stretch of the canal between Inchicore and Grangecastle will take 15 months to complete, at a cost of €8 million, during which the present towpath will be closed to the public.
