Catastrophic condition of roads in Cork city (pic heavy thread)

sunday's well rd. No changes here whatsoever

now this spot again.. bottom of Strawberry hill.. constantly being repaired, constantly falling apart.. you can see cars swerving into the opposite lane (when there's no cars there) because it is just not possible to drive over this without the whole car jumping up and down!

Strawberry hill with Convent avenue are also one of the busiest roads in Cork. Blarney street is too narrow and it's more convenient to take this route.

.. slowly but surely falling apart too..

Well the City was built in a swamp.

the city is a swamp.

Blarney street is actually one of the busier streets in Cork.

welcome to a poor asian country

when they resurfaced part of the Harbour view road, they left this awfuly looking thing there... what is the purpose of this? 1980's called, they want their traffic island back. If this would be Germany or Japan they would definitely remove it because it just serves no purpose. It's in the way obviously. I see people quite often driving over it when turning left.



this is what the roads should look like everywhere. Pefectly smooth surface. Right now it's almost like an offroad track everywhere you go.



Btw. there is (still) a slight dip in the road outside the credit union. This will be a problem in couple of years.. all those buses driving over it... 100% guaranteed in few years it will start breaking.. and they'll go back, fix it.. and the never ending circle will start again.

Cronin's field ... one of the busiest roads in the northside.. if slaloming is your thing you'll love this.. especially those manhole covers are ridiculous..

another one but much worse.. wtf is this?

Highfield ave. near UCC.

Somebody added a bump.

interesting reading:

"Cork City Centre Revitalisation

The City Centre is the ‘Healthy Heart’ of Cork, essential to the well being of the wider region and the country as a whole. It is also the city’s front window, playing the central role in its economic, social and cultural identity.

The City creates a network where economic activity prospers and communities work together to inspire and enable Cork to further itself. It is this combination and interaction between people and place that is the critical element to the success of urban life in our City."


I'm sorry but when I compare it to what I see in the city centre... Grand parade still in shambles. Is this the "Healthy heart" they are talking about? ... I am somewhat confused.
