Residents ready to oppose rail plan flyover

A BATTLE is looming over plans to build a flyover in an historic city quarter as part of the reopening of the Cork to Midleton rail line.

Residents on the Lower Glanmire Road claimed yesterday that a new flyover, proposed between the Skew bridge and Water Street, would destroy city views which have remained unchanged for over 100 years.

They welcomed the reopening of the railway line.
