Hide AdAll bridges on the public road network are routinely inspected every six years to ensure they are safe for the public to use. The inspection will include the use of an abseiling team.


Alternative access will be available via the Foyle Expressway, Foyle Road, Craigavon Bridge, Duke Street, Waterside Link and vice versa.
The Department has planned this important inspection to minimise inconvenience to the public. Please use the alternative route and as this is slightly longer, you may need to allow extra time for your journey.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be complete by February 7.
