    Nice structure and all yes, but I'd still prefer to see a river without a big structure like that spoiling the nature of it. A few horses and no fencing or anything would be nicer.

    Very nice. Is this a single lane or dual carriageway.

    Looks great from an aesthetic point of view

    Unfortunately a few horses aren't much good at getting traffic over a river. Research has shown that bridges work much better.

    Its a dual carriage way. Here are a couple of pics taken in Feb 2006 while the Roadway and the Bridge were still under construction

    AS for a river without a big structure spoiling it I think this has actually helped this particular river as there has been an ugly hydro electric dam on this river since the 50's. which would you rather see.. the bridge pictured at the start of this thread or this.

    neither, hehe, no structures or buildings or bricks or fences, imagine the photos without any of them:o Anyway, I'm just dreaming and bringing this slightly off topic;)

    it isnt really a true dual carriageway as it has only one lane in the south direction (two on the north bound side as it is quite a serious hill up to the roundabout and there is traffic joining at the bridge....

    Dual carriageway or not, that is one cool bridge!

    The lights look class. The Boyne bridge is better tho ;)

    Hello irish1967!
    I linked to your pics on a thread over on SABRE and everyone loves your pics. If you join up and add them to the poll for Photo of the Month you'll have a sure winner or if you don't feel like it, could I nominate one of 'em for you? The illuminated pic would make a great job! See thread here.
