Will construction happen at night?
It is anticipated that on track construction will happen mostly at night and at weekends to ensure that existing services are maintained for commuters. Off track works including those required for the proposed new stations and depot will be undertaken during day time hours.The construction strategy will be confirmed as Phase 2 of the Cork Area Commuter Rail Programme progresses and there will be consultation with communities along the line in advance of commencement of the construction phase.
A Construction Environmental Management Plan will be presented in the Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) as part of the Phase 2 project documentation presented as part of the Railway Order Application.
