Watch: ‘Significant progress’ on €16m Bandon flood relief plan

A decision by a contractor in a major infrastructure scheme in West Cork to “keep the public informed” of its progress has been lauded by a TD as the way forward.

Civil engineering contractors Wills Bros Ltd has reported “significant progress” on a €16m flood relief scheme in Bandon.

The company is confident of continued progress in a scheme which involves the construction of new walls and embankments along the tidal Bandon River, the replacement of an old arched footbridge with a new single-span structure along with the underpinning of Bandon Bridge, and the construction of a rock ramp for fish passage.
