£3.4M project to replace Pulrose Bridge to begin in March 2021

Mon, 14 Dec 2020


A major project to replace Pulrose Bridge will begin in March 2021.

The £3.4m capital scheme will lead to the closure of the bridge over the River Douglas for around 12 months in total.

Electricity, water and telecoms connections must all be diverted and reconnected while maintaining supplies in a complex and collaborative planning schedule.

Gas diversions will take place before the main construction work begins.

The current bridge was built in 1931 and, due to ongoing maintenance issues, it is neither practical nor economically justifiable to extend its life further.

Pedestrian access between Peel Road and Pulrose will be maintained throughout, while diversions and temporary routes for motorists will be fully signposted.

Businesses and property owners in the surrounding area have been informed of the plans following engagement by the Department of Infrastructure.
