Plans for new bike lanes on Cork Airport hill due within weeks

Scheme to include replacement of existing cycle lanes with fully segregated and protected cycle tracks

The road between Cork Airport and the Kinsale Rd roundabout has been earmarked for a major bike and pedestrian infrastructure upgrade, said Cork City Council.

Plans for new and safer bike lane infrastructure, including long sections of segregated cycle track on the Cork Airport hill, are set to be published within weeks.

The news comes following criticism on social media this week of the unsafe bike lanes on a section of the N27 following a €1.1m resurfacing project.
