MOTION NO.9

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update and report on the ongoing repair and reinstatement of the bridge connecting Ballyboden Road to the Willowbank Estate and to advise as to when the works shall be completed

REPORT:

Willowbank Pedestrian Bridge is being upgraded with new stone parapets, new railings, a new bench and a new concrete path laid along the length of the bridge with grass verges on either side. These works are to improve the safety, visibility and usability of the bridge as well as to ensure the structural integrity of the bridge is maintained.

The parapets are almost complete with work to lay the footpath and grass verges soon to commence. We anticipate the works to be complete by the end of March, weather permitting.
