Cork council unveils new plan to improve access between city centre and south docklands

How neighbouring Albert Quay will look upon completion of the Cork Docklands road improvement scheme.

Plans have been unveiled for a multi-million public realm upgrade to improve access to and from Cork’s south docklands — one of Ireland’s largest urban regeneration sites.

The scheme, which could cost between €10m to €15m to deliver, includes new public transport, walking and biking links, new landscaping and quayside parklets, and major improvements to the streetscape of the inner-city neighbourhoods adjoining the south docks, where hundreds of millions in development is under way on sites including the former R&H Hall site and the former Ford’s distribution site.
