The Tanaiste has officially opened the first phase of the Cork to Passage West Greenway
The City Council says the 3km greenway provides a recreational and commuter corridor between the Docklands and Mahon tracing the route of the 19th century Cork, Blackrock, and Passage Railway line.
The greenway includes new and improved access ramps, extensive planting of over 2,000 new trees alongside a wide range of other pollinator-friendly planting, environmentally sensitive lighting, play and rest features as well as the restoration of historic railway structures
The greenway project builds on the ambitious plans for the redevelopment of Cork Docklands which is one of the largest regeneration sites in the country.
