Dublin to get 'Blood Stoney Bridge' to cater for cyclists and pedestrians

A new bridge is set to be built to cater for cyclists crossing the Liffey.

The plan, which is set to start in mid 2021, will see the unit be put between Samuel Beckett and Tom Clarke bridge and will only be for pedestrians and cyclists.

The bridge will have a two-way cycle lane as footpaths on each side.

It's expected to take 18 months to complete according to Dublin Chamber who've welcomed the plan as it will "make cycling in this part of the city much safer and more attractive".
