Road dug up again for power cable upgrade just a year after resurfacing

Works have begun, again, for a power cable upgrade on a key city road in Cork which was dug up and resurfaced just a year ago.

Contractors have moved onto a section of the outbound carriageway of Cork’s South City Link Rd in recent days to complete the work on behalf of ESB Networks.

“This latest work was always part of the overall project and disruption should be kept to minimum,” a city council spokesman said. “And the restoration of the road surface is being funded entirely by the company.”
