Plans for €3.5m pedestrian bridge go on public display

Plans for a pedestrian and cycle bridge in Cork City, which is being part-funded by the EU, have gone on public display.

People have now been invited to comment on the design of the proposed €3.5m Harley Street bridge, which it is hoped will be installed over the north channel of the river next year.

Engineers have designed a low-lying semi-elliptical single span bridge, with two 2.35m clear walkways either side of the central space, which widen to 3.1m at the centre point, to be installed between Brian Boru Bridge and St Patrick’s Bridge.
