Cycling
A light, elegant pedestrian and cycle bridge connecting the north and south banks of the River Lee in the heart of Cork. Its slender steel arch and open railings give the bridge a transparent profile, offering wide sightlines to the river and quays as you cross. It opened in 2019 and is named after Mary Elmes, the Cork humanitarian who saved hundreds of children from concentration camps during World War II.
