River Liffey gets new pedestrian bridge

The second stage of the new pedestrian bridge on the River Liffey will be put into place today.

The 320 tonne bridge, located east of the Talbot Memorial Bridge, is made up of two sections which will swing open to allow boats to pass through.

It's being put into place by the 'Mersey Mammoth', the largest marine crane in Europe.

The bridge, that will link the north and south quays, is due to be officially opened next month.
