The Lucan to Hazelhatch leg is being constructed. When this is complete it shoud in theory be possible to cycle out from Dublin but this needs to be confirmed.

​

The Sallins to Edenderry leg is gone to tender but it is a big job as it involves building footbridges, ramps as well as the underfoot. Its likely to take a couple of years.

​

The Sallins to Edenderry leg includes the Sallins to Robertstown leg, I'm not sure where the split will be.  When these are completed it should be possible to go all the way from Sallins to Athy and separately on to the Offaly Greenway at EdenDerry.

The leg from Edenderry to the Shannon is apparently already open. 

Note that the Grand Canal greenway will be from Sallins to Edenderry and the greenway from Athy to Sallins will be the Barrow Way. 

​​

Cyclits should not continue on the Grand Canal after Sallins as it is not suitable for road bikes. One can go to Digby Bridge with a rocky surface but no further. You can cycle back by a Shared road to Naas, see below.

To get from Sallins to Naas, head over the bridge over the canal towards the train station. There is a cycle lane at the road but the road can be busy. Go over the railway bridge and on to the traffic lights at the shopping centre. Go through the lights and take the first turn right. Note if you reach the road over the motorway youve gone too far. 

Cycle 500 metres, no cycle lane, until you reach Osberstown Bridge. Take a left turn all the way into Naas, this is a shared road. 

If you turn right at Osberstown Bridge continue about 200 metres and turn right again. Cycle under the railway and road bridges and on to Digby Bridge which is about 4 Kms. See photos from 29/8/2024
