The proposal is for the provision of 2 no. additional bridges on Phase 2 of the Grand Canal Greenway. Bridge 1 is located in Lowtown, and Bridge 2 is located just east of the existing Healy’s Bridge (Bonynge Bridge).
From the Offaly border, pedestrians and cyclists travel on the north side of the canal. At the new pedestrian bridge (Bridge 1) in Lowtown, they will cross over the Grand Canal to the south side. They will then continue on the upgraded towpath towards Healy’s Bridge. They will travel underneath the existing Healy’s Bridge on the south side of the canal and cross over the new pedestrian bridge (Bridge 2) to the north side, before carrying on to Sallins. The new pedestrian bridge at Lowtown also enables users to access the Barrow Blueway route.
These additional bridges allow for safer access for users of the Greenway by avoiding the crossing of and travelling along dangerous sections of the public road.
