New bridge names unveiled

14 February 2017

Earlier this year Connswater Community Greenway, in association with Belfast City Council, launched a campaign to name the three bridges installed on the Greenway section from Beersbridge Road to Grand Parade. The public put forward their suggestions which then went to a public vote.

On Monday 13th February, families and local stakeholders met to unveil the bridge names and celebrate the inspirational local people who will now be remembered for generations to come.

We are delighted to start the year by announcing that Connswater Community Greenway has been selected as one of five exemplar green active travel projects worldwide, by the Central Scotland Green Network initiative. These selection means that we will form part of a suite of five case studies showcasing best practice from around the world. This is a fantastic project to be a part of as it showcases the Greenway on a global scale.

Construction of the Greenway continues with significant changes

5 December 2016

Over the last few weeks the project has made considerable progress with the opening of the C.S. Lewis Square on Tuesday 22nd November.  The last of the remaining art was installed and remainder of the trees planted just in time for the opening.

Only two sections of flood wall work remain; two flood walls to be poured at Ladas Drive and at the retail park at Connswater. The rest of the flood walls are in place and work on the hand rails from Severn Street to Sydenham is progressing well at this stage.
