Work commences on walkway ramp in Mahon

The old railway track in Mahon & Blackrock is one of the most popular routes in Cork City for running as it's quiet, flat and away from any traffic. Back in February of 2016, I had a post up about plans to build a new ramp which would give runners more options for routes.



This work has now commenced and I'd guess it should be finished in a few weeks time. One point to note is that the actual slope of the ramps is a lot gentler than the artists impression would suggest.

I wonder is there any possibility that they might install some lighting on that stretch as part of the works.

Highly unlikely as it would a big project to light the whole thing. Only the part out to passage is lit.

Lighting would be great even if it was only until 9pm to facilitate runners!
