Update from council on Celbridge Active Travel Bridge
Motion raised by Cllr Rupert Heather (LAB)
Consultant engineers working on the Celbridge Active Travel Bridge project are expected to complete the detailed design and contract documents this year, according to Kildare County Council.
The council was responding to a motion by North Kildare Labour Party councillor, Rupert Heather, at a municipal district meeting held today (Friday April 11 2025.)
Cllr Heather asked the council to provide “an update, including the status of investigation works, funding for the construction, and a timeline for completion of the Celbridge Active
Travel Bridge.”
In its report, the local authority confirmed it had received an allocation of €300,000 from the National Transport Authority (NTA) in 2025 to complete the detailed design of the Celbridge Active Travel Bridge.
The project will be ready for construction, “subject to funding being made available in subsequent years”, the council concluded.
