Work was due to commence in the last quarter of 2021.
Kildare County Council have confirmed the procurement of a contractor for the construction phase of the Leixlip to Maynooth section of the Royal Canal Greenway is on-going.
It is anticipated that a successful contractor will be appointed early in 2022 with construction works starting thereafter.
The construction is estimated to take 15 months to complete.
Kildare’s Catherine Murphy posed the question to ask the Minister for Transport in the Dail, for a date on which work will commence on the Leixlip to Maynooth section of greenway.
Ms Murphy stressed the question in view of the fact that it was due to commence in Q4 2021, and pressed the Minister on the estimated duration to completion and opening.
The Minister replied: “ I have responsibility for the policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel.
“The National Transport Authority, has responsibility for the allocation of funding to specific projects and oversight of their development, in cooperation with the local authorities themselves.
“Noting their responsibility in this area, I have forwarded your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply.
“Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days,” he concluded.
