Re: Cornmarket Street Footbridge

Originally designed to celebrate the turn of the Millenium, the Cornmarket Street footbridge was set in place at a cost of 2.2m euro to CCC on August the 14th 2004. Now designated as part of the Cork 2005 celebrations, it will form part of the 1st stage in the redevelopment of Cornmarket Street as a more ‘cultural extension’ of Patrick’s Street. The new bridge, yet to be opened to the public or officially titled was designed by McGarry Ni Éanaigh Architects with Muir Associates Consulting Engineers. Construction work was provided by Ascon.
