This forms part of the construction of the Athy Distributor Road.
Kildare County Council has confirmed the successful installation of the steel bridge beams for the new bridge over the River Barrow this week.
The council says this is a "major milestone in the Athy Distributor Road project and the culmination of many months of planning and hard work by BAM Civil Ltd, their various subcontractors, bridge designers Roughan and O’Donovan and Kildare County Council."
Works on the bridge will be ongoing over the coming months as the precast deck panels are installed and the remaining elements of this iconic bridge are completed.
Following the commencement of works in late 2021, the Athy Distributor Road Project has been progressing well over the past year, works will continue to complete the remaining elements of the scheme ahead of the planned completion date in 2024.
A traffic management system is in place around the town as part of the construction of the Distributor road and at peak times it is heavy on all approaches into the town, particularly on the Carlow and Kilkenny Roads.
