the point being poukai that the bridge was constructed with integrated tram tracks, whether trams go across it in the future or not
Oh, right, missed that point…
Hang on, I thought there was no plan to take the Luas across this bridge anyway? The pavement work on the south side is making good progress although the road layout is still looking a bit strange with the big slope and the sharp corner off/onto the bridge from SJRQ, but I guess we’ll get used to it.
Can’t wait for the bridge to be finished, finally M&S will be a viable lunch option 😀
And depending on the scale, that thing on the right is either a nearby seagull or a Klingon bird of prey in the distance. 😀
Will the giant harp lady end up with the giant wire man up the river? Find out next week on Fair City… 😀
Aw, sure, I know they’re still adjusting it and all that, but it was dead funny to see it like that! It’s fascinating to watch I must say…

😀 Love it 😀 I rest my case, no way I could put it any better than you did yourself…
As for ugly buildings, there’s one I passed the other day that I must go back and get a pic of, on Church street I think, a residential block painted a very vivid bordeaux colour with cream bits? Does anyone know the one I’m thinking of? Sorry, very vague but it really does deserve the ugliest building award… or at least the ugliest paint job!
Edit: Actually, think I’ve found it, but I think the paint colour has changed, or maybe it looks different from the ground…

It looks so delicately balanced now. Beautiful.
Yep, so beautifully balanced that the tip was dipping into the river this morning 😀 Must post a few pics…
Wow, the bridge is now on its axis and the barge and pontoons have been removed – we have free-standing bridge! Now that was quick, didn’t expect it to happen quite that fast, although there’s still loads to do…

so your still trying to tell me what i meant, you seem to have trouble catching the subtly of tone across the internet, once again
No, he’s (?) telling you what it comes across as, that’s quite different. Ever tried taking a deep breath, and maybe considering that someone else could possibly be right? “Subtlety of tone” being a major issue on the internet, as you seem to have realised, means that the person “speaking” should be making more of an effort to be correctly understood. If you don’t, then don’t complain that people don’t know what you meant. And if you snap at people and behave rudely, don’t expect the conversation to get anywhere near architecture any time soon.
Well here’s a view of it now, you could just photoshop it blue… 😀

Currently alongside the North Bull wall.
My Monday morning productivity hates you for posting that link. 😀

Wow, that’s a very nice picture. Can you upload it on flickr so we can see the full quality? That would be great
Yup, will try to do that if I can get the original file, my brain, my memory and access to internet in the same vicinity for any period of time… 😉
The upload rather crapped up the quality of this one, but I still like the night view better than the day one…
Wasn’t it 2010?
I’m also glad to see progress on this, and have also been eagerly watching the work on the small building on the south bank… Looks like a 50’s american trailer, without the chrome, and I like the copper roof. Wonder what it will be used for, is it some kind of control place for the bridge opening or something entirely different?@Peter Fitz wrote:
Plans on theccd.ie (why they bothered to include ‘the’ as part of a major domain name i’ll never know).
Um, maybe because ccd.ie was already taken? 😀
Well, I’m guessing that being a conference center there will be at least one if not several auditoriums, therefore no windows in those areas, and there are big chunks of windows on the sides as well as the massive glass drum, so I don’t think it would be all that dark and gloomy inside :confused:
I think there was a link to a video of the place in one of the threads about it that showed a bit more inside detail? Will try to locate it…
