Galway Bay fm newsroom - Works on refurbishing the Claddagh basin lock gates in the city are to get underway in the coming weeks.
The City Council has selected a firm to carry out the works, which will involve the removal, refurbishment and reinstatement of the existing gates.
A new pedestrian footbridge, attached to the refurbished gates, will also be provided.
The chosen contractor has yet to be formally appointed, but the city council says works are scheduled to get underway on Monday the 13th of February, when the tide is at its lowest.
