The works on the L4506 and L4508 between St Flannan's College and the Kilrush Road are close to completion.
Along with new pedestrian facilities, the scheme will also reduce traffic speeds along the route.
A series of lane separators and bollards will be used at locations along the route to provide light segregation between cyclists and motorists. An additional zebra crossing is also being provided near Éire Óg Inis GAA grounds.

The measures proposed will extend the network of cyclist facilities already provided in Ennis along the N68, R458, R352 and R469 and as well as providing traffic calming will provide cycling facilities in line with the objectives of the County Development Plan. The four permanent cycle counters on the R458 and R469 are showing increased cyclist activity in Ennis over the past three years.
Additional trees and new planted areas have been incorporated as part of the scheme.
