The damaged wall on the approach to Killarney Bridge
The end of the current traffic problems at Killarney Bridge’s is in sight!
As recently confirmed to Kilkenny County Council by Irish Rail, contractors began works onsite last Wednesday, February 16.
One lane on the approach road to the bridge has been closed since November 15, 2021, with a 24 hours stop-go system for traffic in place, after a supporting wall partially collapsed.
One lane of the road, approaching from Thomastown, was closed as that lane was undermined by the collapse of the wall below into a field. The road was closed to keep heavy vehicles off it and prevent further collapse. The council do not want the whole road to collapse into the field and the lane will remain closed until all repair work is complete.
Earlier last year a number of traffic safety measures were taken at the bridge, including LED activated chevron signs, extra signage, road markings and an anti skid road surface.
