STC J - Mahon to City

STC J - Mahon to City

The Mahon to City Sustainable Transport Corridor (STC J) approaches the city from two different starting points. The first of its two tails starts on Jacob’s Island and makes its way inbound (towards the city) on the Loughmahon Link Road (R852) as far as the junction with Skehard Road.

The second tail starts at Mahon Point Shopping Centre and uses the existing bus-only access at the eastern end of St. Michael’s Drive. It then travels along Estuary Drive, Ringmahon Road, Avenue de Rennes and Skehard Road as far as the junction with Loughmahon Link Road (R852).

From this point (near the Central Statistics Office) the two tails join and the STC continues inbound to the city on Skehard Road, Churchyard Lane and Boreenmanna Road, before joining the Sustainable Transport Corridor H – Airport to City at the junction with the South City Link Road (N27).

The cycle route follows the bus route for most of its length but diverges from the bus route at the junction of Boreenmanna Road and Rockboro Avenue. From here it is proposed that cyclists use the quiet streets of Rockboro Avenue, Old Blackrock Road and Rockboro Road. A new, wider pedestrian and cyclist bridge is proposed to link Rockboro Road to Hibernian Road. The cycle route then joins with Sustainable Transport Corridor I on Anglesea Street (R610), to continue into the city centre.
