Legal action taken against Sandymount cycle path

Councillors last month wrote to Minister for Transportand the NTA asking that they revisit a 2015 plan to construct a cycle path on a boardwalk over the seaside of Strand Road, instead of on the road.

This plan, which was projected to cost €48 million, involved the closure of the Merrion Gates level crossing to traffic and the construction of a two-way traffic flyover between Strand Road and Merrion Road over the rail line and through the car parks of Merrion Hall and Our Lady Queen of Peace church.In its response to the councillors, the NTA said the 2015 plan may require revision due to new plans for flood protection measures along the coast.

The construction of the bridge over the rail line and the environmental designations at Sandymount Strand would likely require an application to An Bord Pleanála, and preparing that application could take “two to three years”. Securing planning permission would likely take a further two years and construction would take “about two years”, the NTA letter states.
