Opening date nears for Mullingar to Athlone section of Dublin Galway Greenway
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.
