A look at the proposed Cork City flood defences...

Someone suggested that I have a look at some of the proposed flood defences for Cork City as they may potential impact on some popular running routes as well as the route for the Cork City Marathon.

In Cork City, there will be higher walls built along the quays while up by the Mardyke and Lee Fields, an embankment will be built. This is the existing view of the pedestrian bridge by the Mardkye Walk...

This is the proposed embankment.....

A nice little hill at the 25 mile mark in the marathon! :o)

Obviously when this embankment is being built, there will be some disruptions. If you want to have a look at the existing and proposed views, go to this link and scroll down.
