Work To Begin On 10 Year Old Cycle Route Plan

A decade on since planning began, work on a Sutton to Sandycove off road cycleway around Dublin Bay is to get underway.

The new route will be a continuous 22km off-road cycle route, and once complete will be one of the longest coastal promenades in Europe.

Construction plans for stage one will be presented to Dublin City Councillors on Monday evening.
