Work is due to start this week on the major upgrade of a Cork City greenway which will ultimately serve as a vital link in a proposed cross-city cycling route linking the Lee valley to the harbour.

Cork City Council confirmed this weekend that the advance works on the first phase of its Passage railway greenway improvement scheme will start on Monday on the section running from close to Páirc Uí Chaoimh on the Marina to the N40 near Mahon Point.
