Client
Castlehorn Construction
Providing a direct link between Blanchardstown Town Centre and new residential development areas to the south of the Royal Canal, the bridge accommodates a single two lane carriageway, cycle ways and footpaths, further to 800m of approach embankments up to 7m in height, and roundabouts at either end.
The bridge is a reinforced concrete structure with precast bridge beams and GRC skirting panels incorporated to provide a clean edge profile to the deck.
The €7m development involved extensive liaison with rail and canal authorities.
