FP McCann has been chosen to carry out improvement works on the UB190 Bann Bridge in Coleraine.

The Bearing Replacement project will be delivered on the structure, which carries a single track around 240 metres over the River Bann on the Coleraine to Derry ~ L'Derry railway line.

Works will include surveying the existing structure to determine the size of plates, stiffeners, bearing components and works to the top of the piers. In addition, new stiffeners and plates will be fabricated and installed.
