During the high tides listed above Cork City Centre will experience flooding of the roads across the low-lying city quays.

In addition to the above streets, road flooding will also likely occur on Wednesday morning on the following streets:
The situation will continue to be monitored and further advice will be issued if the situation changes. Cork City Council will be posting regular updates to our X (@corkcitycouncil) account as well as the City Council’s Public Alert System (MapAlerter).
Traffic Impact:
It is not envisaged that any road closures will be required but we would advise motorists to drive with extra care and attention on Wednesday mornings between 7.00am and approximately 8.00am as it is likely that many of the roads listed above will have surface water on them. Please avoid driving on flooded streets (as the creation of waves and wash from moving vehicles can cause flooding in properties adjacent to the flooded road) and take alternative routes along unflooded roads instead.
Motorists are advised not to park in any of the areas listed above overnight.
