Cork City Council, in collaboration with the National Transport Authority (NTA) and the Department of Transport, is inviting members of the public to participate in a non-statutory public consultation on the Emerging Preferred Route for the Cork Northern Distributor Multi-Modal Road (CNDMR). The consultation launches today, Thursday 27 February and runs until Thursday 10 April.
To view the virtual consultation room and make your views know, go to www.cndmrpublicconsultation.ie
The proposed new road is 14 kilometres long, from the Carrigrohane Road at its western end to Glanmire in the east, crossing the northern side of Cork City via Hollyhill, Dublin Hill and Banduff.
The CNDMR will provide safe, dedicated infrastructure for active travel (walking and cycling), public transport and general traffic. It will improve journey times for all road users and improve access to areas of employment. It will also unlock zoned land on the north side of Cork City for future residential and commercial development, enhancing the attractiveness of the area for investment. It is a key element to delivering the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS), which was published in 2020 and identified the need for this east-west route on the north side of Cork City.
