Kildare County Council says key elements of the long-awaited Barrow Blueway are now in the final stages of delivery.
In response to a question from Monasterevin-based Councillor Kevin Duffy (FG), officials confirmed that the new pedestrian bridge west of Spencer Bridge in Rathangan is close to completion - with an expected public opening in early 2026.
