From the intersection of Clontarf Road and Alfie Byrne Road on North Strand Road, the new route travels 2.7 miles to Connolly Station's Amiens Street. The greatly awaited and long-delayed project came with a price tag of about €70 million.

The Dublin City Council Active Travel Network, a major project aimed at addressing Dublin's increasing need for more environmentally friendly transport options, includes this route. Eight new community plazas and 6.5 km of water mains that were a century old were replaced as part of the project.

The National Transport Authority's Anne Graham stated, "It offers safe, segregated cycle facilities into quite a very busy part of the city centre; so that is really revolutionary."

The initiative will serve Ireland's larger transport and environmental goals in addition to improving public transport, walking and bicycling in the city.

The Clontarf to City Centre (C2CC) Active Travel Project includes 5.4km of improved bus lanes, 6.8km of additional bike lanes, and 8km of improved pedestrian pathways.

According to Dublin City Council, three pedestrian crossings and nine significant intersections have been upgraded. Additionally, the park and Fairview village are connected by two recently constructed pedestrian crossings.
