Cork's newest bridge has been officially named.
Cork City Council has confirmed that the 4m wide bridge connecting Grange to Tramore Valley Park has been named Vernon Mount Bridge.
598 nominations were received from the Public, through a naming process set up by Cork City Council.
The 63 metre long pedestrian/cycle bridge, and the kilometre long cycle/pathway are due to open to the public in the autumn.
Funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA), the kilometre-long pathway will provide a public amenity for local residents through the wooded area south of Grange Road, allowing direct access across the N40 dual carriageway to Tramore Valley Park via the new pedestrian and cycle-only bridge.
The four-metre-wide pathway will also support people with mobility needs and will include environmentally sensitive public lighting.
