A €4.5m grant for the long-pledged bridge for cyclists and walkers connecting to Cork's Tramore Valley Park and a further €4.5m for improvements to MacCurtain Street in Cork city are major elements of a new €290m active travel package.

The funding will be given to local authorities across the country for around 1,200 walking and cycling projects, Environment and Transport Minister Eamon Ryan said.
