Construction works for the Wolf Tone Pedestrian Bridge II will begin on Monday, 28 August.

An area has been allocated to the appointed contractor, Kenny Civils for use as a construction compound for the duration of the works.

Should deployment of temporary flood defences be required during the construction period this will be accommodated.

As the scheme progresses on site, Galway City Council has advised that various temporary traffic management deployments will be required to facilitate construction works.

Initial temporary traffic management measures will require closure of the existing downstream footpath from Fish Market Square at the Spanish Arch to Claddagh Quay.

Temporary pedestrian diversion routes via the existing upstream footpath will be sign posted on site and subsequent traffic management deployments will be published in due course.

Completion of the Wolf Tone Pedestrian Bridge II scheme is programmed for the second quarter of 2024.
