Wolfe Tone Bridge

The Wolfe Tone Pedestrian Bridge II project saw the construction of a new cantilever bridge on the outside of the existing Wolfe Tone Bridge, which is one of the busiest crossings of the River Corrib. 

The new walkway is on the south side of the bridge and is similar in design to a separate cantilever bridge on the north side of the bridge which was added in 2004.  The new walkway provides a safe, segregated way to cross the Wolfe Tone Bridge for local residents and visitors, giving people a great view of Claddagh Quay and historic Spanish Arch. 

Construction was completed in May 2024, and the bridge was officially opened by Mayor of Galway City, Cllr. Eddie Hoare and Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan T.D.

The project was funded by the National Transport Authority.
