City motorists warned of switch to two-way route

MOTORISTS were warned last night of major changes in Cork’s traffic system that will take effect on Thursday.

Lancaster Quay and part of Western Road will become two-way from midday around the same time council engineers are due to meet city centre traders to discuss plans for the pedestrianisation of Oliver Plunkett Street.

The council is planning to pedestrianise the street and some side streets in the area from 11am to 7pm six days a week.
