New bridges over the Liffey

Beta Ray Bill

I've been looking at the Capital One website
I've been following the buildings construction mostly because of the tenant that is moving in once construction is completed.

Looking on the website:
http://capitaldock.ie/campus.php

The campus clearly shows 3 additional bridges:
Thorncastle St <=> Sir John Rogerson's Quay (Vehicle bridge)
North Wall Quay <=> Sir John Rogerson's Quay (Vehicle bridge)
North Wall Quay <=> Sir John Rogerson's Quay (Foot bridge)

Does anyone know if there are plans to build these bridges, or did someone in marketing realise the Infrastructure in the area is very poor for a building of it's caliber and decide to get working on Paintshop Pro?

It would be very advantageous if they were built.

The Dublin inquirer did an interesting podcast about this recently. Seems like they are having difficulties with planning for that foot bridge because of plans to build DART Underground.

around 12 minutes in for talk of the new bridges.

The Thorncastle St, Dodder bridge is a public transport, cycling and pedestrian only bridge as far as I know. Someone might confirm that

That makes sense as Thorncastle St (Or the surrounding area) would not be able to handle the volumes of traffic.

Wonder will motorcycles be allowed across...?
