GUILD STREET SECTION
ROYAL CANAL PREMIUM CYCLE ROUTE - PHASE ONE ALONG GUILD STREET
The good news is that phase two opened a few days ago and the Luke Kelly has only been vandalised once since I last visited.
Dublin City Council’s Royal Canal cycle route is a new 7km pathway and linear park(s) running from the North Quays to Ashtown. To the best of my knowledge the first 500m section was completed about ten years ago.
The second section from Sheriff Street to Newcomen Bridge was completed a few days ago. This section consists of a segregated three-metre wide cycle track and two-metre wide footpath on a viaduct bridge alongside a new linear park.
The third section will run from the North Strand to Cross Guns Bridge in Phibsborough. The final section, from Phibsborough to Longford Bridge in Ashtown, has been divided into four phases the first of which is due to be completed later this year.
The canal path is part of a a 277km coast-to-coast cycling “greenway” from Galway to Dublin, announced in 2012 and it was due to be completed in 2020. I believe that the section from Maynooth to Longford has been finished.
