STC E - Ballincollig to City

The Ballincollig to City Sustainable Transport Corridor (STC E) commences to the north of the N22 Ovens Junction, southwest of Ballincollig. The corridor proceeds on the Old Macroom Road (R608) towards Main Street, Ballincollig. From Main Street, the corridor remains on the R608 and travels on towards Model Farm Road, passing through the Poulavone Roundabout. The corridor then continues on Model Farm Road until the junction at Dennehy’s Cross.

From Dennehy’s Cross the routes for buses and cyclists diverge, with buses routed east to Magazine Road and College Road before turning onto Donovan’s Road. Cyclists will route north on the proposed cycle infrastructure in Sustainable Transport Corridor F (Bishopstown to City), along Victoria Cross Road and on to Western Road, diverting to Mardyke Walk before rejoining the bus route at the junction of Donovan’s Road/ Western Road (at the Bandfield).

STC E ends for buses and cyclists at the Bandfield and between here and the city centre STC E merges with the proposed bus and cycle proposals in Sustainable Transport Corridor F (Bishopstown to City), continuing to Lancaste Quay and Washington Street as far as the junction with Grand Parade.

Dedicated cycle facilities are provided along the majority of the corridor, with a short section of quiet street proposed along Mardyke Walk. Priority for buses is provided along the majority of the corridor using a combination of dedicated bus lanes and local traffic management measures in more constrained locations to help ensure reliable bus journey times.
