Landmark viaduct may form part of greenway along disused rail line

The landmark viaduct on the western outskirts of Cork City may form part of one of two major cycling and walking “greenways” to be developed along West Cork’s disused rail lines.

A grant of €60,000 has been awarded to Cork County Council to advance the ambitious plans for the West Cork Abandoned Rail Lines Greenway project.

The scheme aims to develop some of the 188km of abandoned lines on the former Cork to Bandon and South Coast railway routes as dedicated off-road cycle and walking routes.
