Iconic bridge closed during Storm Ciara just days after official opening

Nine days after the opening of the iconic Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge, BAM took the decision to close it during Storm Ciara.

Due to a lack of communication many drivers, Wexford County Council and media outlets – apart from AA Roadwatch – were not made aware of the bridge closure which came into effect from midnight until 8.30am on Sunday when winds were reportedly gusting at up to 130 km/h.
