WATCH: Cork's Shakey Bridge will retain famous shake after restoration, engineers insist

Work to dismantle Cork's famous Shakey Bridge has begun as the first section of Daly's Bridge has been removed and placed on a barge in the River Lee.

The famous shake in Cork’s landmark Shakey bridge will be retained, engineers have insisted.

The reassurance came this morning as the first section of the iconic near century-old pedestrian suspension bridge was removed from the heritage structure as part of an major €1.7m repair and conservation project.
