Client: Cork County Council
Project: Brandy Hall Bridge, Castletownbere
ABM Bridge Systems brief was to widen the Brandy Hall Bridge in Castletownbere by 12.5 metres and construct a three-span arch to match the profile of the existing stone masonry arch structure. In order to obtain an accurate match, we used a variety of moulds to form a hybrid structure. Special features included stone masonry cladding, the use of mechanically stabilised earth and spandrel walls.
