They're not launching it. They're using the method seen in this video, moving the falsework rather than the bridge deck. You can see this from the update photos.

That would match the pics we've seen up to now, post #646 etc

m17 thanks for posting the images, always look forward to seeing them as on the M17 thread when you did them.

However I'm giving up as Photobucket is driving around the twist with ads, popup etc. Don't understand how they are still in business - they must have turned off most of their customers.

Looks cool, will they have to make a couple of false pillars in the river between this pillar and the one in the river?

Interesting question asked about high winds. Not sure the answer given was 'the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth..'

If the Foyle bridge has restrictions in 60 km/h winds, why would New Ross be different?

(I hope that any restrictions are minimal BTW!)

What's that Red Bridge the article mentions? Another major bridge near New Ross?

I notice some of the bridge works are on Google Maps satellite view now too.

[EDIT]
Red Bridge seems to be the old rail bridge north of New Ross, not south as quoted in the article. And where it says "third largest bridge" maybe should be "third largest greenway"?

This new bridge will need a speed limit and a wind monitoring system .

Correct, it was part of the New Ross to Enniscorthy rail route. It's a couple of hundred metres north of the O'Hanrahan (town) bridge. After passing the red bridge the rail line entered an 800 metre tunnel which supposedly was the second longest in Ireland. It should make a spectacular green way.

Wow pretty amazing - is the tunnel included in the greenway plan?
