PICTURES: Construction works completed on brand new Kilkenny bridge!

Works have been completed on the brand new Coote's Lane bridge over the Breagagh and it is now open to the public.

This bridge completes the connection from Coote's Lane to the Ring Road and is a valuable amenity for local residents as well as students from St Patricks De La Salle and St John of God. The route is also a regular route for students from School of the Holy Spirit.

The new bridge was fabricated locally by Dungarvan Precision Engineering and painted by Abrasive Blasting Systems Ltd and has a hardwood surface and handrail with corton steel railings.
