Dundalk Bay to Carlingford Greenway
Introduction
Louth County Council, with the support of Transport Infrastructure Ireland, is developing proposals for the Dundalk Bay to Carlingford Greenway project.
The study area for the proposed greenway project encompasses the Regional Centre of Dundalk and the coastal town of Carlingford, along with the interconnecting road network. The R173 Regional Road is the main route connecting Dundalk with Carlingford. The R173, along with other regional and local roads in the study area have limited provision for pedestrians and cyclists. High vehicle speeds, narrow road widths and lack of segregated facilities make the road network unattractive for pedestrians and cyclists.
Public Consultation No. 3 (Emerging Preferred Route Corridor)
The deadline for submissions for Public Consultation No. 3 closed on Friday 27th February 2026.
The project team are now in the process of capturing and reviewing the feedback received. A Public Consultation Feedback Report will be prepared in response to the submissions. This feedback will also be used to inform the finalisation of the Option Selection Report. Where alterations to the Emerging Preferred Route Corridor have been suggested during the consultation process these will be assessed and these modifications may be incorporated where appropriate when finalising the Preferred Option Corridor.
It is anticipated that this will be completed by Q3 2026. The Option Selection Report and Preferred Route Corridor map will then be published and made available on this website.
The Public Consultation information can still be found here or the Public Consultation tab of the website to access the display material and view the Interactive Map.
