Viewing points set up to watch Cork's newest bridge being put in place

Viewing points have been set up on Cork’s northern quays for people to watch the city’s newest bridge be lifted into place in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Pending favourable tidal conditions and wind speeds, two cranes will hoist the 66-metre span Mary Elmes pedestrian and cycle bridge into place to link St Patrick’s Quay and Merchants Quay sometime between 2am, and 7am.
