A few photos of the work in progress (even on a Saturday evening) at Portumna Bridge. Photos taken on 19 February 2011. There was one-way traffic over the bridge, well signposted, controlled by traffic lights.
The contractors: L & M Keating
L & M Keating replaced the swinging navigation arch in November 2008. Now they are shot-blasting and painting the steel walls of the rest of the bridge.
The steel has been covered to allow work to proceed
Both sides are covered
Lots of materials and container offices are located on the Waterways Ireland quay
