Deep Concerns Raised About Pedestrian & Cyclist Safety On The Sallins By-Pass.

File image: Sallins By-Pass/Kildare County Council.

The route opened in May, but is without paths or cycleways.

A warning is being issued to Transport Infrastructure Ireland and Kildare County Council over the failure to complete cycling and walking infrastructure along the Sallins Bypass.

The route opened in May, as part of a suite of M7 road up-grades, costing €110 million.

The original plan was that cyclists and walkers coming from Sallins would leave the bypass just before the railway underpass, cross over the road to Digby Bridge and, using a cycling lane that runs parallel to that road, make their way to Osberstown bridge in safety.

That then changed to create a ramp up onto the Millennium Road

However, this portion of the works has not yet been realised.

Social Democrats Cllr., Bill Clear, has been speaking to Kildare Today.


Cllr. Clear joined Eoin Beatty on Monday's edition of the programme.
