We’re making great strides on the Ringaskiddy Urban Realm & Active Travel Scheme, an exciting project that’s enhancing connectivity and safety for the local community in County Cork. As part of this project, Coffey is working on behalf of Cork County Council to create a new shared-use pedestrian and cycle path along the N28 through Ringaskiddy village.

We’ve recently completed a key stage at the Port of Cork entrance, marking an important step forward. The entrance now provides safe pedestrian and vehicle access between the Ferry Terminal and Ringaskiddy Village, benefiting both locals and Brittany Ferries traffic between Cork and Roscoff.

We’re also delighted to announce that the new shared cycle path linking the Port Entrance to Gobby Beach is now open! This new route enhances access from the village to both Gobby Beach and Haulbowline, encouraging active travel and making it easier for residents and visitors alike to enjoy the beautiful local scenery.
