Droichead an Dóchais shortlisted for International bridge award

16 July 2024

Droichead an Dóchais, Galway’s iconic pedestrian and cycle bridge, has been shortlisted for a prestigious international engineering award. The bridge, which opened in May 2023, is among just eight projects in the running for the International Bridge Project of the Year award at the upcoming New Civil Engineer Bridges Awards in London. It represents further recognition for Droichead an Dóchais, which offers a safe, comfortable crossing of the River Corrib for thousands of people each day and has already become a widely recognised landmark in Galway.
