Ladystairs rebuilding

Colm Donoghue · 18-04-2007, 09:22

I passed the Lady's stairs at Ardgillan t'other night. They seem to be raised and a link across the road constructed now. Seems like steps the sea side of the road to be installed still.

I presume this bridge was raised for electrification.

eh no,bridge was knocked down by a cherry picker by accident from what i was told. has been like that for at least a year and half,only now have they started to fix it!

but there's fresh concrete on top of the old bridge supports. And the bridge deck across the road looked to be concrete.
It was dusk though so I may be mistaken.

they are rebuilding it because they broke it

I know it was broken. The council were trying to get the contractor/IE to re-build it to be better than it was but IE didn't want it at all, it was a protected structure so to make it more accessible meant it wouldn't be the same yada yada. (Fingal co.co minutes for insomnia cure.)

I'm saying after a year and a half some cog has turned and it is finally being rebuilt and it looked like it was higher than it was before. either for muppets in the tall vehicles or electrification of the line.
