Phase 2 of the Greenway in Westport is under construction, Westport town councillors were informed last week.
The 1.2km route will create links to Tesco, the Convent, Rice College, the Sacred Heart School, the Castlebar Road, and Knockranny.
Town engineer Patrick Corcoran acknowledged the goodwill of landowners in the area and he said that hopefully the route will open in April.
