Galway City Council is seeking feedback from the public on the proposed new Clifden Railway Bridge Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge.
The proposed bridge will use the abutments of the former Clifden Railway Bridge, which remain visible in the River Corrib today, and will link the Dyke Road area with the University of Galway campus.
The reinstatement of the bridge as a pedestrian and cycle link will connect places of study, work, retail, and recreation using sustainable modes of transport. The bridge will help to bring a vibrancy and rejuvenation to the surrounding areas, creating new places of public realm.
Following an options assessment of the project, an emerging preferred option for the design of the bridge has been identified. This design, along with two alternative options, can be seen in an information brochure and in technical drawings which are available below.
Galway City Council is also inviting people to have their say on the project and the designs by completing a short survey. The deadline to complete this survey is 5pm on Thursday, April 11th.
Feedback from all prospective users of the bridge is welcome and will inform the next steps of this project.
