QUESTION NO.11

QUESTION: Councillor A. Hayes

To ask the Manager for an update on the Silver Bridge, to include the planned joint feasibility study with Fingal County Council and if this feasibility study can include a pedestrian connection to Chapelizod via the Mill Lane Park.

REPLY:

The bridge is stabilised and restored to a conserved condition and the feasibility of re-establishing a pedestrian link at this location can now be investigated further. Preliminary discussions have been held between Fingal County Council and South Dublin County Council to establish whether access from both northern and southern sides of the bridge can be provided, and further analysis of road safety issues, cost planning, and funding opportunities will be investigated.
