New cross border sections planned for the Carlingford Lough Greenway
17 September 2019
Doran Consulting were appointed as Lead Consultant for the Integrated Design Team responsible for the design, tender and construction supervision of three new sections of the cross-border Carlingford Lough Greenway.
These new sections of the Greenway will see the creation of 10.1 km of new cross-border paths, which will link into existing elements of trail, and will join Newry City in Northern Ireland to Carlingford in the Republic of Ireland.
A preferred route has been developed for Sections I and II running from Carlingford to Carlingford Marina, and Omeath Pier to the NI / RoI Border respectively. These will build on the recently completed and already popular Omeath to Carlingford Marina Greenway providing a world class cross border green travel route running parallel to the R173 Road Newry Dundalk Link Road.
A preferred route for the Northern Ireland Section, Section III, is being developed and there will be a community consultation, to enable local stakeholders, elected members and members of the public to review and inform the emerging route.
