Navan Cycleway Plan

Plans for new 2.9km Navan Cycle Network have been revealed

 Plans for the new cycle and pedestrian scheme from Athlumney to the Trim Road in Navan, have gone on public display.
The route extends from the Beechmount Avenue junction on the Trim Road to Railway Street, connecting with the recently constructed roundabout at the Solstice Arts Centre and onto Circular Road. 
It then crosses the Dublin Road and continues northward along the River Boyne to the  new cantilevered bridge  and onto the Convent Road, over the railway bridge, past Athlumney Castle to Elm Park in Athlumney.

 Meath County is holding a public consultation on the scheme and details are on display at Buvinda House and Navan Library below during opening hours each weekday until 31st
October.  
Members of the project team will be available to answer queries at Buvinda House on Thursday 11th October from 3pm to 8pm and at the Solstice Arts Centre, Railway Street on Wednesday 17th October from 3pm to 8pm.
 Submissions can be made in writing to the Planning Department, Meath County Council, Buvinda House, Navan Co Meath, C15 Y291 or emailed to planning@meathcoco.ie

Cycle lanes either side of Railway St

 The proposed cycle scheme is based on the National Transport Authority’s published Greater Dublin Area Network Plan, which includes a network of cycle routes for Navan.
 It will include dedicated cycling facilities and several existing pedestrian crossings are to be upgraded, including the crossing adjacent to Flowerfield National School on the Dublin Road, at the Circular Road junction, and on the Trim Road at the Dan Shaw Road junction located adjacent to Supervalu.

New look Convent Road



New signalised pedestrian crossings are proposed on the Trim Road at Beechmount, at St Columbus Crescent (giving access to Beaufort College), and at its junction with Carriage
Road. 
New signalised pedestrian crossings are also proposed at the Circular Road/Academy Street junction.
Following planning consent and subject to funding, works could begin in 2019 and be substantially complete in 2021.
