€17m bridge to be built in Donegal

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2005 / July 22

The go-ahead has been given for the biggest bridge yet to be constructed in Co Donegal. The €17 million bridge will connect the Rosguil and Fanad peninsulas - with the eastern side of the bridge located on the estate of the family of Lord Leitrim. He is remembered as one of Ireland's most notorious landlords, who was assassinated by locals in 1878. The bridge will be 350m in length with six spans. Over €5 million will be spent in 2006, €8 million in 2007 and the final €4 million in 2008.
