Busy Cork bridge to be surveyed after Japanese knotweed damage

County council engineers are to carry out a detailed structural assessment of the crossing over the River Bride at Bridesbridge/Castlelyons after being alerted to growths of Japanese knotweed underneath the bridge.
A meeting of the council’s Fermoy/Charleville municipal district was informed by county council senior executive engineer Brendan O’Gorman that his staff would survey the bridge and report back to councillors.
