The Government will extend the use of the Main Street and Irish Town cycle lane from the previous closing date of 31st March 2020 until 31st May 2020.

The Main Street & Irish Town Cycle Lanes will also benefit those wishing to exercise, throughout this period.


Cyclists are reminded to respect the operational hours and direction of travel as stipulated by sign-age.


The Minister responsible for Transport The Hon Vijay Daryanani said:
“This measure will be useful to food delivery companies and others. There is no conflict with busi-nesses or pedestrians at a time
