Work is underway on the Tulla Road Active Travel Scheme in Ennis.

The project will deliver a continuous 2.2 kilometre primary cycle route and enhanced walking and wheeling facilities on the Tulla Road.

Pedestrian crossings are to be upgraded while new crossings will be introduced, junctions will be tightened and various other traffic calming measures will be implemented.

Clare County Council estimates the works will take 18 months to complete and has confirmed construction will take place in seven phases, with phase one from Gort na mBláth and Hillcrest expected to take 12 weeks.

Clare FM's Seán Lyons spoke with Clare County Council Senior Executive Engineer Anne O'Sullivan to find out more about the background to the project and the schedule of works.
