New Mourne bridge to be ready by 2013

A NEW foot and cycle bridge across the River Mourne will be started this autumn and is set for completion by February 2013.

Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland outlined the provisional timeframe in response to an Assembly Question.

He stated: “The community pedestrian foot and cycle bridge over the River Mourne in Strabane is a Strabane District Council led and managed project which is being part funded by the Department for Social Development. Therefore, the timeframe is the responsibility of Strabane District Council.

“However, Strabane District Council has recently appointed a detailed design team and advised the Department that construction is expected to commence in October/November 2011 and be completed by February 2013.”
