It's all Go in Cork City
Let's Keep Cork Moving

From August 9, private vehicles will be re-routed from St Patrick’s Street between the hours of 3.00pm to 6.30pm. Instead buses, taxis, emergency vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists will be prioritised along this City Centre corridor. 

 

To accommodate sustainable economic and jobs growth, we need to ensure we have a public transport system that works for our City. The rerouting of private traffic away from St. Patricks Street is just one step in a much larger Cork City Centre Movement Strategy. The overall goal being to keep Cork moving. Nobody wants growing traffic congestion and pollution.

Why is traffic being re-routed in Cork city centre?

Incentives

A number of complementary measures will accompany the 9 August reintroduction of the bus prioritisation which will make this transition easier for those who live, work and visit the City centre. 

 

These include:

  • A network of 26 free fifteen minute set down parking spaces along South Mall, Grand Parade, Parnell Place, Drawbridge & Cornmarket St to facilitate shoppers and visitors. 
  • From 9 August, half price parking will be offered at Paul Street and North Main Street Car Parks from 1pm to 6.30pm every day.
  • The opening hours of the City’s BlackAsh Park & Ride service will be extended to operate from 7am to 8pm.
  • The BlackAsh Park & Ride will be free of charge from 12 noon Monday to Saturday.
  • The extension of the BlackAsh Park & Ride service into the city centre with additional stops at Merchants Quay, St Patrick’s St, Grand Parade and South Mall to improve connectivity between the Park & Ride and city centre.
  • Reduced bus fares will be available from 9 August. With your Leap Card, you can travel for as little as one euro across the red zone.
  • Passengers on the northbound 203 and 215 buses will also be stopping on St. Patrick’s St. for the first time.

We will continue to keep you updated on how our City Centre is transforming.
