Weak Bridge!

Image: © D Gore Taken: 25 Apr 2013

This is the northern end of a bridge over the River Erne three miles east of Belleek. It carries a link road between the two major routes (A46 and A47) which follow the south and north shores respectively of Lower Lough Erne. The warning sign here clearly indicates the temporary nature of the repairs which have been made to the nearest (northern) span of this eight span bridge, in which parts of a British Army ‘Bailey Bridge’ of World War 2 origin and decking of wooden planks have been used. The same “temporary” situation was evident when Kenneth Allen crossed the bridge six years ago! Image
