Big day for Mullingar ��‍♀️��‍♂️

The Saunders Pedestrian–Cycle Bridge is officially open! ��

This fully accessible bridge is a major step forward for active travel, safely connecting neighbourhoods, schools and the town centre while encouraging walking and cycling for everyday journeys.

Funded by the Department of Transport through the NTA’s Active Travel Investment Programme, the bridge supports healthier lifestyles, safer travel, and a more sustainable future for Mullingar.

A proud achievement made possible through strong collaboration between Westmeath County Council, designers, contractors and local stakeholders.
