Cork City main streets to close in July for major pavement repair project

The City Centre Pavement Restoration Scheme 2024 will also focus on the restoration of pavements and street furniture

St Patrick’s Street will be closed northbound from July 1 to mid-August 2024 with a diversion via Grand Parade

Some of Cork city’s main streets will partially close and diversions will be in place from next month as part of a massive city centre footpath, pedestrian crossings and street furniture repairs project.

Up to nine brickwork crossings which were temporarily repaired, some several years ago using tarmac, are set to undergo extensive repairs and restoration as part of the large-scale project focusing on the city's main streets, details of which were announced on Wednesday.
