Two kilometres of footpath running along the Westlink is to be upgraded as part of the Forth Meadow Community Greenway project.
Elected members at Belfast City Council ’s most recent Planning Committee approved the enhancement of a stretch of footpath that runs alongside the A12 Westlink from Donegall Road and Broadway to Grosvenor Road. The work involves the erection of new information panels and the placement of waymarkers on the ground.
The greenway is funded by the EU’s PEACE IV Programme, and is intended to be a physical representation of the peace process in Belfast and to promote reconciliation between interface communities. The £5 million project will see the creation of a 12km route from Clarendon Playing Fields in the North of the City, through the West to the new Transport Hub in the city centre. £3.2 million has been spent so far.
