It aims to develop up to 46.5 km of Greenway network at 3 Cross Border locations to a standard width of 3 m wide. The overall capital cost and programme activity is costed at 18 500 000 EUR. The proposed greenway routes are as follows: — Route 1: Derry via Pennyburn and Bridgend border crossing to Buncrana / via Tooban Junction, 32.5 km, — Route 2: Muff Village to Derry via Culmore and Muff border crossing, 10.5 km, — Route 3: Strabane to Lifford via Lifford Bridge, 3.5 km. The ICT commission for this project will consist of a single contract, with the appointed ICT undertaking the design development, contract administration and project implementation of the works. The appointed ICT will be expected to procure and manage two separate contracts for the construction works across the two jurisdictions Northern Ireland (NI) and Republic of Ireland (RoI).
