Dublin North East Labour TD and Oireachtas Transport Committee member, Seán Kenny, today welcomed the provision of €500,000 funding from Department of Transport to Dublin City Council to carry out major refurbishment works to the North City Fairview Pedestrian Bridge.

"It is proposed to refurbish the footbridge at Fairview in 2012. The works will include renewing of the decking to the bridge as well as general repairs and painting of the bridge. Dublin City Council will be seeking tenders in March/ April and it is expected that the works will be complete over the summer months" said Seán.

"The Fairview Bridge provides safe pedestrian access to Fairview Park as well as allowing access to the many schools in the general Fairview area" Deputy Kenny added.
"A very large volume of Dublin Northside vehicular traffic converges at Fairview and it is vital that Fairview Bridge be retained and improved" he concluded.
