THE MILL ROAD Active Travel Scheme has been officially launched as it follows the completion of the 1.4 kilometres of new infrastructure designed to improve safety and connectivity for residents, and particularly pupils attending Scoil Íde and students of St. Munchin’s College.
The scheme was completed by Limerick City and County Council’s Active Travel team and funded by the Department of Transport through the National Transport Authority (NTA).

The Mill Road scheme includes a new off-road shared path, several raised pedestrian crossings, and comprehensive traffic calming measures.
In a commitment to environmental sustainability and biodiversity, the project also included the planting of over 280 new trees along the route.
Mayor of Limerick, John Moran said: “The Mill Road Active Travel Scheme is another life-changing investment in the health and safety of our children and residents.
“Where there was once a gap and a missing footpath and dangerous road, there is now a dedicated, safe path for pupils from Scoil Íde and St. Munchin's to walk, scoot, or cycle to school.”
Director of Services for Transportation and Mobility, Patricia Liddy, said: “This project successfully delivers a high-quality, off-road shared path and critical safety improvements, which are already encouraging a modal shift in the area. The Mill Road scheme is a practical result of Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy, demonstrating the commitment of this Council to building a functional, integrated and sustainable transport network.
“We are proud that our focus on efficient delivery has positioned Limerick City and County Council among the top three local authorities in the country for active travel infrastructure.”
LCCC also confirmed that works on the Corbally Road scheme have commenced, which will further enhance the safety of the environment around the schools and contribute to a safer, more integrated network for the Corbally area.
