Mizen Head bridge reopens
Following a €1.8m reconstruction project funded by Fáilte Ireland, the Commissioners of Irish Lights and Cork County Council, the bridge is an exact replica of the original structure which dates from 1909.
Ross O’Donovan, senior resident engineer on the project, said the footbridge was the first of its kind in the country, but in recent years its steel arches became corroded by sea salt.
