Cork to see €6m spent on resurfacing city roads over six months

The resurfacing contract will also include the 'improvement of road drainage where required' and the installation of traffic calming ramps and other ancillary works

The drainage provisions within the contract are noteworthy given that tidal flooding within Cork City centre has routinely disrupted traffic in recent years at times of extreme weather, particularly on low-lying quays. File Picture: Larry Cummins

More than €6m is to be spent resurfacing parts of more than 40 of Cork City's roads over six months this year.

Cork City Council has tendered for a six-month contract for the relaying of approximately 106,000m² worth of regional and local roads with a uniform surface.
