Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd visited the Belfast Tidal Flood Alleviation Scheme this week to see ongoing progress on the scheme which aims to provide a long-term approach to tidal flood risk management for the city. The scheme also helps protect against the flood risk dangers presented by climate change. The Minister met the project team and was able to view various areas of completed flood defences & how they integrate with the existing streetscapes.

𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 A new EU-funded cross-border greenway connecting people and communities across the North West was officially opened yesterday. The North West Greenway Network (of which €23.8m was funded through the European Union’s INTERREG VA Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body) was delivered by Derry City & Strabane District Council in partnership with the Department for Infrastructure, Donegal County Council and Sustrans. Further funding was also provided by both Councils, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, the Department for Infrastructure, and the Department for Communities in Northern Ireland. The overall project has successfully delivered a network of 46.5km of greenway infrastructure, walking and cycling routes, linking communities spanning the North West border area. The two new routes link Strathfoyle to Quigleys Point via Muff, and Culmore and Castlefinn to Strabane via Lifford. The network has already attracted thousands of local users, providing an environmentally friendly travel option for commuters as well as facilitating active travel, physical activity and encouraging sustainable transport and decarbonisation. The new routes also provide improved safety for walkers, runners and cyclists. https://lnkd.in/eKvXstH8
