Cork City Council has issued tender documents for the construction of two pedestrian bridges to connect to the former Beamish & Crawford brewery site and the future location of the planned €80m Cork events centre.

The bespoke steel bridges will span approximately 30m over the South Channel of the River Lee in the vicinity of Crosse’s Green and French’s Quay.
