Bridges over Royal Canal Planned for Docklands

December 21, 2018

Dublin City Council is planning to provide two lightweight steel bridges over the mouth of the Royal Canal, one for pedestrians and the other for cyclists.

Both bridges will be 12 metres long and will cross the mouth of the Royal Canal where it meets the Liffey.

The bridge closest to the Liffey will cater for pedestrians, while the second, cycleway bridge will be closer to the protected Scherzer lifting bridges which move with the aid of counterbalances to allow clearance for access by water.
