Plans are advancing for a new pedestrian crossing on the Salmon Weir Bridge.
It would be on the Cathedral side - and would facilitate people crossing to use the newer pedestrian and cyclist bridge.
The newer bridge was opened in May 2023 - and it's now by far the most common crossing point, with over 13 thousand people passing over every day.
But, surveys show around 3 thousand people still use the old Salmon Weir Bridge.
This planned new pedestrian crossing aims to encourage the majority of those to switch to Droichead an Dóchais.
It'll be a toucan crossing linked in with the city traffic light network rather than a zebra crossing.
A meeting this week heard the latter simply wouldn't work when one person crosses the road every 10 seconds at peak times.
A public consultation will begin in the very near future - and it's expected construction will begin around August
