Funding of more than €10 million has been awarded to deliver the schemes from the National Transport Authority.
These schemes will improve connectivity for communities in the city and county. This latest tranche of approvals is part of an overall allocation of more than €24m for Limerick's Active Travel team in 2022.
Work is already underway on footpath projects at a number of locations including Kennedy Park, Irish Estates and the Regeneration Area of O'Malley Park, Southill.

Brian Kennedy, Director of Transportation and Mobility with Limerick City and County Council said: "The vast majority of these schemes are designed to benefit pedestrians across the city and county. The addition of new and upgraded footpaths along with more pedestrian crossings will make it easier and safer for thousands of citizens to get to their destinations in a sustainable way. The Active Travel team at Limerick City and County Council is working closely with our partners in the NTA to deliver these improvements as quickly as possible."
Sean McGlynn, Senior Engineer with Active Travel added: "Our teams are already on the ground delivering on a number of these schemes and we will have more of them underway in the coming weeks. The allocation of more than €10m from the NTA for these works means we can deliver Active Travel improvements for a large swathe of citizens across Limerick."
