A second Liffey crossing is to be constructed in the town.

Kildare County Council is being asked to develop a plan for community engagement throughout all phases of the delivery of a second bridge in Celbridge.

The project was awarded over €10 million in funding in March.

Cllr. Vanessa Liston, by way of motion, is asking KCC to develop a "written plan" for "the next and subsequent phases of consultation on the second bridge in Celbridge, in advance of the September municipal district meeting".

She says it should "include a clear outline of the purpose of each consultation, who will be engaged and how at each stage, what information will be provided and what opportunities there will be for the public to engage with the Roads team members."

Her motion will be debated at the June meeting of the Celbridge Leixlip MD.
