The Bridge, weighing 35 tonnes, was fabricated at McGrath Group’s 120,000 square feet purpose built facility at Lissue Industrial Estate.

This is the largest of a number of bridges that the McGrath Group has recently completed which includes Kildare Railway Station, a footbridge on the A40 dual carriageway in London and a number of bridges at Pitsea Railway Station in Essex.

As a result of their earlier successful contracts on the Olympics, McGrath Group have also recently received new business as part of the legacy works at the Olympic Stadium, the Aquatics Centre and the Olympic Velodrome.
