The TUS to City Centre Active Travel Scheme is a project being delivered by Limerick City & County Council. It is being funded by the National Transport Authority.
The link is intended to connect the stretch between the TUS Moylish Campus and the junction between Belfield Gardens and the Ennis Road.
The works will include segregated cycle lanes and footpath upgrades along the Cratloe Road, Sexton Street North and High Road, along with a number of dedicated cycle and pedestrian crossing facilities.
An inbound bus lane extending along the Cratloe Road from the Moylish Roundabout to Hassett’s Cross will also be provided, along with upgrade works to bus stops, side road junctions and new road surfacing.
When finished, the project will form a key connector for the North side of the Metropolitan area’s Active Travel network.
The Scheme was approved by Councillors via a Part 8 planning application in December 2022, having gone through a public consultation process.
The Scheme is now progressing through its Detailed Design phase.
It is anticipated that construction on the project will begin in 2025, following a tender process to appoint a contractor.
