Two Greenway projects are being advanced by Donegal County Council in partnership with Derry City and Strabane District Council as part of the wider North West Greenway Network.
Construction of the Muff to Quigley’s Point Greenway and the Lifford to Castlefin Greenway is set to begin next year.
The proposed Muff to Quigley’s Point and Lifford to Castlefin Greenways will provide a segregated shared cycling/walking facility and are typically 6 metres in width overall, comprised of a separation strip from the road, a 3-metre wide cycle/walking surface and provision of a comfort strip separating the greenway from hedges and boundaries.
To help inform the detailed design of the schemes, a number of advance survey contracts are being progressed by Donegal County Council and are scheduled over the coming weeks and months.
It includes Archaeological Built Heritage surveys, some archaeological test trenching and metal detection surveys. Ground investigation contracts will also be undertaken to determine the typical ground conditions along the proposed routes.
The local authority has appointed a valuation consultant who will shortly engage with owners of private land required to facilitate the construction of the scheme.
