A Bridge to Wandesford Quay

·

Cork’s newest bridge is a new pedestrian or cycle bridge that spans the River Lee from Wandesford Quay to Lambley’s Lane. You’d be forgiven if you’re not familiar with either area, as they aren’t exactly the most trafficked areas in the city.

If you’re curious, Lambley’s Lane is off to the side of the old Beamish & Crawford brewery, and the bridge is worth a look at night. Henry shared a photo of the bridge a couple of days ago. Thank you, Henry, for pointing out where it was. I had no idea.

If you look carefully, you can see all the way down Tuckey Street to Oliver Plunkett Street. During the day, you might even see down to Parnell Place, maybe?

Here’s the latest news from Cork City Council about the bridge and the newly reopened Bishop Lucey Park. Photos of that to come…

    @donncha I used it for the first time today. The bridge is nice, not extraordinary but nice, and the curve of it is lovely. I rested for a minute or two looking up towards Elizabeth Fort, enjoying the new view. That alleyway/laneway running between Tesco and the Crawford & Beamish building, though, is hideous.

    @donncha nice, maybe the area will get more traffic now it isnt a perpetual building site / dreilict industrial centre!

    @Rubelicious I only walked down there to see the bridge, and it was dark. Would be nice to have a mural in that lane but you've got a glass office block on one side and the red brick student accommodation on the other.. ☹️
