Galway Bay fm newsroom - Dunkellin bridge is set to reopen by the end of next week following major works.
The bridge collapsed last year while undergoing flood mitigation works, resulting in a long-running closure which has caused significant traffic disruption.
The rehabilitation works got underway in June following a funding allocation of 200,000 euro from the Office of Public Works.
The new bridge will consist of a single span of pre cast units with the external wall clad with existing stone from the original bridge.
Local area councillor Joe Byrne says the contractor is working to a target of October 31st.
He says that date will be weather dependent - for more tune in to FYI Galway@5...
