Graham To Build Lagan Weir Bridge
Graham Construction has been appointed to construct the new cycle and pedestrian footbridge in Belfast.
The £5m project will see the bridge built at the Lagan Weir in the city.
It is part of a wider regeneration scheme for the area which will see a number of public realm improvements made along the waterfront. An upgrade to the existing bridge will also be carried out as part of the initiative, to create an integrated cycle route.
Spanning the River Lagan from Donegal Quay on the north side to Queens Quay on the south side, the contractor has said the existing bridge will be removed and replaced with a new structure. The new footbridge will consist of structural steel, enveloped in aluminium cladding, with a glass parapet on the east elevation and a stainless steel post and wire system on the west parapet. The weir lighting will also be improved, with the existing halogen lights being replaced with new energy efficient lighting.
Work on the scheme is due to commence in December.
