The 8.5km Green Pedestrian and Cycle Route along the southern towpath of the Grand Canal from the 3rd Lock, Inchicore to the 12th Lock, Lucan which commenced construction in December 2008 is nearing completion and will be officially opened on the 18th June 2010.

The project has delivered in a green, sustainable and cost effective manner the following components:
