Seatown Road to Estuary Road, Swords Active Travel Scheme
To make Seatown Road safer for everyone, particularly those walking and cycling, Fingal County Council is introducing new cycle lanes, traffic calming and road layout improvements from the entrance to Seatown Road at Seatown Roundabout to the roundabout at the junction with Estuary Road. John Cradock Ltd. have been appointed as the contractor for these works and works began February 2026.
These works form part of Fingal County Council’s Active Travel Programme and are designed to link and facilitate active travel between Malahide and Swords.

Improvements will include the installation of cycle lanes, traffic calming measures, and road layout enhancements from the entrance to Seatown Road (at Seatown Roundabout), to the roundabout at the junction with Estuary Road.
Works include:
- Adding cycle lanes on both sides of the road
