The Barrow Blueway will run from Lowtown, through the towns of Rathangan, Monasterevin, Vicarstown to Athy
An update has been given on the estimated completion of the Barrow Blueway Route, which will run from Lowtown, through the towns of Rathangan, Monasterevin, Vicarstown to Athy.
In a response to a query from Social Democrats TD for Kildare North Aidan Farrelly, Waterways Ireland has confirmed the works will be completed in the first quarter of 2026.
The works began in 2020, costing the project almost €6 million.
The canal bank is open for walkers and cyclers.
The news was welcomed by Deputy Farrelly:
“I’m also looking forward to the completion of the route from Robertstown to Sallins, and all the sections from there back into Dublin that are incomplete,” he said.
“All over the country where Greenways and Blueways have been established there has been an increase in prosperity increased interaction by tourists and locals alike.
“And - research shows - very often they will open up commuting opportunities which can take numerous people out of their cars and off our roads.”
