Full proposal: The bridge at Ballynacarry is an attractive multi-arched bridge and records show that it has been in place since 1835. The bridge provides connectivity between Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The structure carries the N53/A37 over the River Fane and the structure is registered on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) structure number 41402512 which is maintained by the Department of Housing Local Government and Heritage.The existing road realignment and the frequency of vehicle collisions has led to the bridge location being deemed sub-standard for road users. There are a number of issues with the layout of the existing Ballynacarry Bridge and it is a hazardous location for vulnerable road users. The approach and departure to the Ballynacarry Bridge is comprised of complex geometry with the parapet arrangement creating a “hard” point that is unsafe for users.The proposal is to develop a new bridge to the southeast of the existing bridge. The new bridge will consist of a two-span structure spanning the River Fane and the existing floodplain constructed in-situ bridge abutments and supports with precast I-Beams to form the superstructure. The approach/departure from the new bridge will be realigned to comply with current design standards. The works will include associated earthworks drainage works including attenuation ponds new road surface and associated road markings and landscaping.
