A new set-up for the Liffey Cycle Route in Dublin city centre has created more space for cyclists, with the added bonus of extending the size of the pavement for pedestrians.
Along a section of Inns Quay planters have been added that segregate the cycle route from the lanes of vehicles and Dublin City Council also says more space has been created for pedestrians.
While the move is intended to protect the cycle route, it also facilitates the the greater number of cyclists and pedestrians as people switch transport modes due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Works are also underway to install a concrete kerb on Ormond Quay to protect the interim Liffey Cycle Route at that section.
