UPDATE ON ARDFINNAN BRIDGE
Roughan & O’Donovan (ROD) Consulting Engineers Options Assessment Report on Ardfinnan Bridge has been released to Cllr Micheal Anglim and Ardfinnan Community Council.
The Consultants report considered five options
- Formalise Existing Arrangement
- Independent Footbridge
- Cantilever Downstream
- Cantilever Upstream
- Bridge Widening
Thankfully the ROD Consultants have agreed with Ardfinnan Community Council and the wider community that an Independent Footbridge is the best option and they recommend that it be progressed to the Preliminary Design Stage. The report is with the National Transport Authority now and they will be reporting back in the coming weeks.
The process has been painfully slow moving but this is the first time that it is in writing that an Independent Footbridge is the preferred and consultant recommended option when dealing with pedestrian safety on Ardfinnan Bridge which is a massive step in the right direction.
Cllr Micheal Anglim will continue working behind the scenes to continue bringing this important project forward to a satisfactory conclusion. Cllr Anglim thanked Ardfinnan Community Council, Tipperary County Council and ROD Consultants for their cooperation and Jackie Cahill TD and Cllr Terry Shannon for their assistance.
