Construction works commence on Narrow Water Bridge to link Co Louth and Co Down

Construction works have commenced on the Narrow Water Bridge, a 195m cable-stayed bridge linking Co Louth and Co Down.
Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians will be able to use the bridge, which is expected to be completed in 2027. It will also open to allow the passage of ships through and on to the Newry Canal.
