Bridge on Macroom's N22 bypass moves a giant step closer

Covid-19 fails to halt progress of Cork's key infrastructural project

Workers on site watch the new Macroom Bypass bridge inch its way over the river at Kippagh, Ballyvourney while being put into posiiton for the new roadway.

The longest bridge on the new N22 bypass moved a giant step closer to completion this week, as the main section of the structure traversing the Bohill River near Baile Mhúirne was moved into place.

The two-span bridge will be 121 metres long when complete and comprises one span of 80.5m and a second of 40.5m, crossing the Bohill River and a local road near the Mills Inn at Cappagh West.
