The Government has announced a tender process for a new cross-border bridge linking the Mourne Mountains to the Cooley Peninsula.

The €3m bridge connecting Omeath in Co Louth and Narrow Water on the outskirts of Warrenpoint in Co Down is a long-standing infrastructure commitment and the Government reiterated its intent to progress the project in the 2020 New Decade, New Approach (NDNA) deal that restored Stormont powersharing.
