The new Liffey Bridge connecting Macken St on the southside to The Docklands has left Holland and will reach Dublin at the weekend.The bridge is to be called The Samuel Beckett Bridge and will be up and running in 2010(ish).I think given the times we are living in a more appropriate name could be given to it.Balls up Bridge would be one,the bridge over troubled waters also any more out there?
Its leaving holland now and won't arrive till 2010?Originally Posted by codology
Read the post its arriving at the weekend but there is much work that has to be done at the site.
Alonso has the pics from the Dutch website (sorta)
also some Dutch news piece about it
NOS Mediaplayer
and the construction site on the Liffey
I'll probably scoot around on the bike to see it being lifted into place next weekend so hopefully i'll have a few pics for ye then
I think this bridge is really needed because of the developments on both sides of the Liffey.
Its supposed to represent a Harp lying down....
Interesting that it was built in Holland, the locally built one in Waterford is more impressive
And its residents will most probably be drinking Dutch imported beer too......Harp being a little above their budget.
A new Guinness Light launch on the way?
well it does connect the Ferryman pub to the giant Keg being constructed opposite
