Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / April 11 2003: Cost of new Liffey bridge set to increase

The landmark Blackhall Place Bridge, designed by one of the world's leading bridge architects, Dr Santiago Calatrava, will cost more than expected after running into construction difficulties. The futuristic-looking 44-metre bridge, a key aspect of Dublin City Council's traffic-management plans, was to have opened this spring at a cost of about €6.25 million. Some estimates in trade publications are now as high as €20 million.
