WORK BEGINS ON £300K CYCLEPATH IN STRABANE

Transport Minister Danny Kennedy has announced the start of the first phase of a £300,000 cycle path at Melmount Road IN Strabane. 

Work has already begun and will include the construction of 1,250 metres of footway/cyclepath on Melmount Road extending from the existing network at the Great Northern Road/Melmount Road roundabout to Beechmount Avenue.

The scheme is expected to last for 12 weeks.

Mr Kennedy said: “This is the first phase of a very welcome planned scheme which will eventually complete the missing link of footway/cyclepath on Melmount Road between the Great Northern Road roundabout and the excellent facility recently provided at Bridge Street.”
