A NEW bridge has been put in place on the  amenity walking trail that stretches from the Casement railway station to Mounthawk.

The bridge is located at the back of Dunnes Stores on the North Circular Road, adjacent to Casement’s Avenue.

This latest addition extends the Tralee walking trail allowing people access the trail on the Oakpark road, through to Rock Street then onto Mounthawk.

‘The Skinny Mile’, as it has become known, runs along what used to be old train-tracks. The trail has been a fantastic amenity for walkers, runners and cyclists and when completed it will be 2.5km in length.

Weather permitting, it is hoped that most of the remaining works on the trail will be completed before Easter. Plans are now being put in place to extend the walkway all the way to Fenit.
