Inter-Urban Route

Road Name:
Parallel to Midleton Rail Corridor and Old N25

Section (where applicable):
Midelton to Dunkettle Roundabout/Lower Glanmire Road

Existing Facility and Quality of Service (QoS):
There are currently no dedicated cycling facilities along this route.

Proposed Infrastructure Type:
This will be a fully segregated cycle track parallel to the rail line from Midleton to the west of Carrigtwohill village where it is proposed to provide a two way segregated cycle track within the corridor of the old N25. This route can form part of the Eurovelo Network between Waterford and Kerry, connecting to the west through the proposed network in the City Centre.

Key Locations Served:
Midleton, Carrigtwohill, Glounthaune, Little Island, Cork City

Pinch Points/Constraints:
Additional land may be required parallel to the rail corridor between Carrigtwohill and Midleton to provide sufficient width for a two way segregated cycle track. The existing rail corridor at Midleton and Carrigtwohill is shown below.
