Narrow Water Bridge will be ‘symbol of hope’, minister says
The Narrow Water Bridge linking the North and the Republic will be a “symbol of hope”, a Minister has said.
Taoiseach Simon Harris will be among guests at the commencement announcement at the site of the long-anticipated Narrow Water Bridge on Tuesday.
When complete, the 195m cable-stayed bridge will connect Cornamucklagh near Omeath, Co Louth, with Narrow Water close to Warrenpoint, Co Down, providing a direct link between the Mourne Mountains and the Cooley Peninsula, where Carlingford Lough meets the Newry River.
It will accommodate motor vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles.
The bridge will connect the A2 Newry to Warrenpoint dual carriageway with the R173 at Omeath.
It will also open to allow the passage of ships through and on to the Newry Canal.
An allocation of more than €102 million plus VAT is being provided towards the project from the Government’s Shared Island Fund.
