Project Liaison Officer Sean Dobbs, of Wexford County Council, confirmed that the two sides of the bridge on the New Ross Bypass are due to meet in the middle in July. Mr Dobbs said people are witnessing history in the making as construction on the massive 887m bridge nears its conclusion. A new Portuguese crew has been drafted in to help finish the bridge, which is at the heart of a 14km bypass of New Ross town, stretching from Corcoran’s Cross roundabout to Glenmore. ‘It’s progressing very well and is due to be completed in quarter four,’ Mr Dobbs said. The dual carriageway includes the world’s longest three tower extradosed bridge, a type of cable-stay structure, spanning the River Barrow. Traffic will not be on the bridge and bypass until late autumn, early winter, Mr Dobbs confirmed, as once the bridge’s central spans – which are the longest in the world – meet, a significant amount of work will remain to be completed, including final improvements, the installation of monitoring equipment and finishing works, meaning crews will be on site throughout the autumn. .. It will be the longest bridge in Ireland at almost 900m and it features the longest central type span of its kind in the world.’ Camera crews have been recording the bridge as it nears completion and it has already featured in engineering magazines abroad.
