Longford Town - Sustainable Travel improvements
As part of Ireland's National Transport Authority's Active Travel video series with local authorities, we are showcasing the transformational effect of the recent works done in Longford.
This video highlights the delivery of two major Active Travel projects,
1. the N63 Ballinalee Road and 2. R198 Battery Road,
designed to create a safer, more connected cycle and pedestrian network across Longford town, including features such as...
✅ Over 3 km of new footpaths and cycle tracks.
✅ Safer junctions and crossings for schools, residents, and businesses.
✅ Improved lighting, landscaping, and undergrounded utilities.
✅ Reduced vehicle speeds by 10% through strategic traffic calming and junction redesign.
From new footpaths and red macadam cycle tracks to junction upgrades, and public lighting, these schemes are reshaping how people move through the town.
With improved access to schools, residential estates, and employment hubs, Active Travel projects are laying the foundation for a happier, healthier, more sustainable future.
Whether you walk, wheel or cycle, start your day, the Active Travel way.
