Landmark pedestrian bridge ‘could be a tourist attraction’

WATERFORD is on the brink of an historic development with work now underway on the €530 million Waterford City Bypass, which includes a long-sought second river crossing.

But it will have a third if a construction management and engineering degree student at Waterford Institute of Technology has his way.

He has won an award for his proposal of a €26m pedestrian bridge across the Suir between the Clock Tower and North Quays.
