Our sources closest to the construction of the Mullingar to Athlone cycleway are indicating a mid October offical opening date.
As of Friday evening (18th Sep), the base layer was finished to within 4km of Athlone, with the finished layer completed to about a mile of Moate Station. Its a serious job. Some of the bridges are also finished with hand railing. Topsoiling is finished to Castletown.

"Pretty impressive stuff. Some beautiful bridges and tunnels along the route. Past half way point yesterday. No official..."
