A seven kilometre continuation of the route, from Ship Street in Drogheda to Mornington, County Meath, along the Boyne Estuary was proposed in the early 21st century.[3] As of December 2020, the proposal was awaiting a decision on planning permission.[4]

A 26.5 kilometre extension towards Navan was also proposed. In February 2021, Meath County Council launched a public consultation on the potential route.[5] The extension is proposed to run from Andy Brennan Park in Navan to the gates of the Oldbridge Estate.[6]
