Cameras to film bridge construction

Work began last week on the 13.4 million Peace Bridge and cameras placed at Ebrington Barracks will capture each phase of the building.

Speaking at a launch to mark the beginning of the building project, ILEX Chairman, Sir Roy McNulty revealed that upon completion the footage will be used to create a film showing the entire process.

Sir Roy also confirmed that the company is planning to bury a time capsule beside the flagpole at Ebrington. He also appealed to the public in Londonderry to suggest items that could be saved for posterity.

"To mark this important milestone Ministers are launching a process asking people to let us know what they think should be included in a time capsule to be placed in Ebrington to mark the completion of this iconic project and to represent the city's history, its people, and their aspirations for the future," he said.
