Plassey Park Road active travel measures
LIMERICK has had what has been described as a “transformative year” for active travel with €25 million invested in projects in 2025.
This is according to Mayor John Moran who said: “The completion of major schemes and the rollout of community connectivity projects brings us closer to a fully integrated, safe cycling network. These investments are about giving people real choices in how they move around.”

The Mill Road and R510 Raheen to Quinn's Cross active travel schemes were both completed.
The Mill Road scheme improved the link between residential areas along the Mill Road and Scoil Íde on Corbally Road, making it safer for walking and cycling.
The Raheen to Quinn's Cross scheme on the other side of the city improved links between workplaces, residential areas and schools.
The Plassey Park Road was completed with new measures for pedestrians, cyclists and buses.
The Bloodmill Road scheme was also finished, providing safer access for emerging developments in Ballysimon and Towlerton.
Construction is currently underway on the TUS to city centre route and more projects are at design and planning stages.
As part of the town and village scheme, new and upgraded footpaths have improved access to shops, schools and amenities in places like Kilteely, Loghill, Askeaton, Ballyorgan, Feohanagh and Broadford.
Three new safe routes to school programmes were completed in St Brigid's NS, Athea NS and Murroe NS.
Príomh Chomhairleoir of Limerick City and County Council, Councillor Catherine Slattery said: “This year's investment has delivered real improvements for people across Limerick. These are changes people can see and use every day.”
Director of services for transportation and mobility, Patricia Liddy said: “We hope to build on this success in 2026 with key schemes such as South Circular Road, Castletroy Link Road, Old Cratloe Road, and Wickham Street to Clare Street set to progress.”
