Wilton road, Sarsfield Road, Victoria Cross & Western Road Project, Public Consultation

In 2014 Cork City Council commissioned a transportation assessment for the South West & South Central districts of the city. The assessment, titled: “Cork South West/Central Strategic Transport Corridors” identified deficiencies along the current road network and suggested a package of infrastructural projects aimed at addressing these deficiencies.  Each project was evaluated using a number of criteria and a priority list for investment was established.

The “Wilton Road, Sarsfield Road, Victoria Cross & Western Road (Wilton Corridor) Project” was identified as a key project in the promotion of sustainable transportation. The project will provide significantly improved facilities for all road users including bus users, cyclists, pedestrians and motorist along Sarsfield Rd, Wilton Rd, Victoria Cross and Western Rd. The proposed work will provide a quality connection between the N40 South Ring Road and Western Road.
