Harry Reynolds Road Pedestrian & Cycle Route in Balbriggan was officially today by Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Brian McDonagh, in the presence of Minister for Transport and Minister for Climate, Environment and Energy, Darragh O’Brien TD. This project is a significant step forward in enhancing connectivity and promoting active travel in Balbriggan.
The contract for Harry Reynolds Road Pedestrian & Cycle Route was awarded to Jon’s Civil Engineering Co. Ltd and construction works began in 2023. Key features of the €16m upgrade include a 3km-long, well-lit and fully segregated pedestrian and cycle route, designed to promote confidence and safety when walking, wheeling and cycling. Other improvements include 13 safe controlled crossing points, wide cycle-tracks and footpaths, new zebra and toucan crossings as well as signage and road markings to indicate shared space for cyclists.
Balbriggan is home to one of Ireland’s youngest populations and this project provides increased connectivity in the Balbriggan area, linking multiple schools, housing estates and industrial premises. The schools served by the new route are: St Molaga’s SNS, Loretto Secondary School, Balbriggan Community College, Bracken Educate Together NS, Ardgillan Community College and Gaelscoil Bhaile Brigín. The project offers enhanced accessibility and encourages children and their parents to choose active travel as their main form of transport.
