Lifford and Strabane River Regeneration

The Riverine Project forms the vital link in facilitating the exchange and sharing of the sport and leisure facilities between the two neighbouring towns of Lifford and Strabane. The towns are separated by a river and the frontier of Northern Ireland and the south of Ireland (Eire). 

The project incorporates a new riverfront promenade which also opens up new waterfront development sites, a new bridge link connecting the promenade with the alignment of a disused rail-line (now a linear park). Cantilivered walkways provide rest places and viewing points onto the river. An alignment of river lighting will enliven the nightscape of the two sister towns.

The new spaces and routes created make room for new memories and experiences. The River Regeneration Project is viewed as a vital part of the process of bringing together the two communities of Lifford and Strabane.
