Cork City Council plans to build a bridge to access Tramore Valley Park

 

Cork City Council have announced that they are planning to build a new pedestrian bridge over the South Link Road to connect the Black Ash car park to the Tramore Valley Park.

While there are advanced plans for a similar bridge over the South Ring Road to Frankfield and Grange, the link to the Black Ash car park is a new proposal.

There was of course a 5k parkrun in the Tramore Valley Park back in 2015/2016 before it had to cancelled due to inadequate on site parking. This new bridge would solve that particular problem.

I'd imagine that between planning and trying to source Government funding, all of this is likely to take a few years at least? Once the project has been completed, it should pave the way for a return of the weekly 5k parkrun in Tramore Valley Park.
