Construction of a new pathway and bridge will begin this week to give more access to one of Cork's newest public amenities of recent years, Tramore Valley Park — but will involve some trees being cleared.

The new infrastructure will run over the N40 South Ring Road, providing alternative travel routes to the park, which opened in 2019 on the site of the old city landfill.
