Transport Bridge Takes Shape
Waterford’s New Bridge; Waterford is making significant strides in sustainable transport with the ongoing construction of its new bridge. A recently released video showcases the impressive progress of this ambitious project, highlighting the scale and precision of the engineering involved.
The video centers on the crucial role of a massive “HEBO LIFT 9” crane, a yellow behemoth that dominates the skyline. This crane, positioned on a barge and carefully guided by tugboats, is responsible for lifting and precisely placing the bridge sections onto the sturdy pillars already erected in the water. The footage offers a captivating glimpse into the complex choreography of construction, with each section carefully maneuvered into its final position.

Aerial shots of Waterford’s New Bridge provide a broader perspective, revealing the bridge’s place within the urban landscape of Waterford. The project is clearly a major undertaking, transforming the city’s infrastructure and promising improved connectivity.
The video concludes by acknowledging the key players behind this transformative project: Waterford City & County Council, Project Ireland 2040, the National Transport Authority (NTA), and BAM. Their collaboration is bringing this vision of a more sustainable and connected Waterford to life. This new bridge is not just a feat of engineering; it’s a symbol of Waterford’s commitment to a greener future and enhanced accessibility for its residents. The project promises to be a vital artery for the region, facilitating smoother transport and contributing to the city’s continued growth and development.
