ICONIC CITY FOOTBRIDGE REPLACED AT FISHERIES TOWER

Date Published: 13-Mar-2013

A ciity councillor is describing the restoration of an iconic city footbridge as a ‘real success story’.

The new footbridge structure to connect the Wolfe Tone bridge with Fisheries Tower was replaced at midnight and all associated works will be complete by tommorow.

The bridge has been decommissioned since it became unsafe to use some six years ago.

The Civic trust will now take over the running of the fisheries tower, which is expected to be opened as a tourist attraction.

Speaking on Galway Talks, City Councillor Padraig Conneely says this is a huge boost for the city.
