Over £1.25 million worth of work is to commence on the next phase of the Broughty Ferry to Monifieth Active Travel Project on Monday, 13 November.

The scheme will deliver the Caste Green & Mill Street Shared Cycleway and footway, which includes improvements at the Castle Lane/Esplanade junction.

Funded by the Scottish Government through Sustrans Scotland’s Places for Everyone programme, the coastal path project is working to provide a continuous off-road route between Dundee and Monifieth.


The project aims to create a better, safer environment for people to walk, cycle and wheel, and to encourage both locals and visitors to enjoy a healthier lifestyle through active travel.

Work will start on the provision of a shared pedestrian/cycle path through Castle Green, the removal of Mill Street and the continued provision of a shared path and soft landscaping to join The Esplanade.

This will also lead to Windmill Gardens being included within the boundary of Castle Green.

Improvements will be made to the junction of Castle Lane and The Esplanade, along with the creation of a new entrance/exit to Windmill car park.

Additional street lighting to illuminate the path will also be installed.
