Shared walking and cycling bridges along the River Dodder at Templeogue and Bushy Park should be open by the end of this month or soon after.
Bridges are part of the River Dodder Greenway project which South Dublin County Council is building.
...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...
A spokesperson for South Dublin County Council said: “The bridges are due to be offered back [from the contractor] to SDCC at the end of June.”
They added: “The remaining items are some minor snags but mainly the connection and commissioning of the public lights which are dependent on the ESB connections team. Once taken in charge by SDCC they will be opened to the public.”

...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
