Mulhuddart Bridge

MULHUDDART BRIDGE "MAY RISE AGAIN"


Dublin 15 councillors have agreed to "delist" Mulhuddart Bridge from the list of protected structures. This follows advice from the OPW that the bridge is now unsafe and likely to collapse in a flood situation.

A new bridge is to be built to replace both the old bridge and the pedestrian bridge beside it.

"We deferred a decision on this to allow engineers to come back to us with a new design. This new design features stone cladding and has a cycleway as well as footpaths.

We have also asked for some use to be made of the stone from the old bridge. Our Parks Department will take the bridgestones and I’ll be asking for some artistic feature to be designed for the Tolka Valley".


Cllr Michael O’Donovan
