This project involves the upgrading of approximately 42km of disused railway to provide a railway for freight traffic from Foynes Port to Limerick City.

St Dominics Bridge

Refurbishment Project (€2.2m)

The completion of St. Dominick’s Bridge in Drogheda was a refurbishment project which was undertaken by O’Connor Sutton Cronin at a value of €2.2m . The Bridge was originally built in the 1860’s, and our refurbishment has brought it back to its former glory. This beautiful bridge spans the river Boyne and provides stunning views of the river and the surrounding area. It is a great addition to the Drogheda townscape, and we are sure that it will be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
