    Anyone got any idea?

    The bridge was one of only two from a total of over 1,800 bridges surveyed when Eirspan was set up that were given a category 5 designation - "failed or is in danger of total failure with possible implications for traffic safety". (It was immediately repaired at the time).

    Sorry. Didn't spot that. Can't say I know that bridge. Sorry.
