Following on from the commencement of the Beamish & Crawford Quarter and Bishop Lucey Park works, Cork City Council confirms that construction will begin in the coming weeks on another transformational scheme in the city centre, the Morrison�s Island Public Realm and Flood Defence project. Jons Civil Engineering Company Ltd. have been appointed as main contractor to carry out the works.
The project, supported by the Office of Public Works (OPW), will encompass the area along Morrison�s Quay and Father Mathew Quay between Parnell Bridge and Parliament Bridge, as well as a small section on Union Quay at Trinity Bridge:
The first phase of the scheme�s construction will take place at the junction of Morrison�s Quay and South Mall, delivering an enhanced plaza area and riverside viewing platform. To facilitate the works, some local traffic diversions will be in place. Local access and pedestrian and cycling access will remain.
The scheme is expected to be completed within approximately 20 months
