The Samuel Beckett Bridge was moved onto the River Liffey this morning to begin construction. The bridge is a welcome addition to Dublin's landscape and will bring many benefits.
The Samuel Beckett Bridge is a testament to the changing face of Dublin City and how far the city has evolved. The bridge is a stunning piece that will serve to impr
ess visitors to Dublin and reduce traffic in our city. The bridge was moved during the early hours of the morning onto the Liffey to begin its construction and it is due to open in 2010 when it will make an enormous difference to congestion as well an enhancing the city aesthetically.
The opening of the bridge in 2010 will be a landmark for the city and it will serve as a major factor in the fight against congestion on our streets. It will facilit
ate drivers, public transports, cyclists and pedestrians alike and will offer commuters in the city a more diverse choice.
The Dublin City Council commissioned Samuel Beckett Bridge measures 120 metres long; 48 metres high. The Samuel Beckett bridge was funded by Dublin City Council, with the Department of Environment contributing over half of the €59.95m project cost, Heritage and Local Government and Dublin Docklands Development Authority co-funding the remainder.
The Samuel Beckett bridge is an investment into the future of this city. It is an attractive landmark for tourists and an essential step in improving Dublin City’s traffic infrastructure.
