Derry’s Peace Bridge inspection works to commence
The Department for Infrastructure has advised all users of the Peace Bridge in Derry that it will be closed from Monday, February 3 to Friday, February 7 between the hours of 9.30am to 3.30pm daily.
The closure is necessary to enable a detailed inspection of the bridge to be carried out. All bridges on the public road network are routinely inspected every six years to ensure they are safe for the public to use. The inspection will include the use of an abseiling team.
Alternative access will be available via the Foyle Expressway, Foyle Road, Craigavon Bridge, Duke Street, Waterside Link and vice versa.
The department has planned this important inspection to minimise inconvenience to the public. Please use the alternative route and as this is slightly longer, you may need to allow extra time for your journey.
Subject to favourable weather conditions, the works will be complete by Friday, February 7 however the Department will keep the public informed of any change to the arrangements.
