This bridge was a footbridge built by the Guinness family to allow workers on it’s estates on the North side of the river to get from their homes on the southside of the river around Palmerstown old village.
I sort of agree – however, remember the Glass House in the Botanic Gardens – the OPW replaced all metal parts of that structure to great acclaim. Is it still the same building or not?
Whatever happens they need to preserve the look and charachter of the bridge – including the toll both areas – wonder what they looked like originally?
per IT today
PP application:
Location: Former EWL offices (Archers Garage), Corner of Fenian Street and Sandwith Street Upper, Dublin 2.

“There is an EIS beginning on the O’Connell st Monument (the Monument of Light)
and also the Macken St bridge.
This takes a few weeks. Then the public can view the results for 4 weeks and
the Minister makes a decision within the following 2 weeks. Then building
begins.”
6-4-2000I keep an eye on the Corpo’s site for news – I think there was meant to be an EIA by the end of March but I haven’t heard any news about it.

Does anyone know of any progress on these two projects?
