This is the moment Cork’s newest bridge was lifted into place over the N40 South Ring Road overnight.

The soon-to-be-named Grange to Tramore Valley Park pedestrian and cycleway bridge was installed with the help of a 650-ton crane operated by East Cork Crane Hire Limited as part of a major engineering operation which requiored the closure of a key section of the South Ring Road.
