The 22km-long ‘Greenway’ in south Kilkenny is to connect Ferrybank and New Ross along a disused railway line
The South East Greenway, from Ferrybank in Waterford to Rosbercon in New Ross, is on track to open this summer. Sections at either end, in Ferrybank and in Rosbercon, will be the first to open for walking and cycling.
However, an extension to the greenway is still years away.
The dates were discussed at the recent joint meeting of Kilkenny County Councillors and Wexford County Councillors.
Director of Services with Wexford County Council, Eamonn Hore, said he hopes the 6km of greenway between New Ross and Glenmore will be open to the public by the summer.
The extension of the South East Greenway over the Barrow rail bridge and through the disused rail tunnel has not yet gone to tender, Mr Hore told the meeting, and this probably won’t happen until the end of 2024, with construction, and hopefully the opening of the new stretch, the following year.
