Two 230-ton braced pair steel girders spanning 80 metres were installed over the River Barrow as part of the project.
This comes following months of planning and work by the BAM project team, supply chain partners, Roughan O'Donovan, Waterways Ireland and Kildare County Council.

The fabrication and assembly of the beams were carried out by MACK Engineering and Jamestown Profiling. TerraTech Consulting, AGL, MWP Consulting Engineers, Charlotte Murphy Consulting Engineers, McKenna Consulting Engineers, GOB Crane Hire, Saetech Engineering, and PHL all played an important part in getting the project to this point.
Works on the bridge will be ongoing over the coming months as the precast deck panels are installed and the remaining elements are completed.
The Athy Distributor Road Project has been progressing well over the past year, with work continuing to complete the remaining elements of the scheme ahead of the planned completion date in 2024.
