WORK on the canal walkway is continuing and it should be finished by the end of the month.

New lighting, resurfacing and a cycleway will give a fresh and attractive look to it as part of the Tralee Active Travel Initiative. The initiative includes incorporating a cycleway from the Forge Cross down to the town centre, out by the Brandon Hotel and to the canal way. This work is scheduled to take place next year. Scroll down for photos…
