Mizen Bridge: Shortlisted for a prestigious heritage award.
It has been shortlisted for a heritage award by the Institute of Structural Engineers, headquartered in Westminster, London.
County engineer Noel O’Keeffe hopes the Westminster connection is a good omen. “The original bridge, completed in 1909, was designed by Noel Ridley and built by Alfred Thorne & company. Both were based in Westminster at the time. The original bridge cost £1,272 to construct,” Mr O’Keeffe said.
