TRA 07 02 01 - Old Kilcarn Bridge Remedial Works Contract

Meath County Council intend to undertake remediation and repair of the riverbed and substructure of the eleven span pedestrian footbridge, Old Kilcarn Bridge over the river Boyne near Navan. Old Kilcarn Bridge is a protected structure adn Recorded Monument within the River Boyne & River Blackwater SAC. Scour damage as a consequence of flooding has led to significant deterioration under and adjacent to the upstream face of the bridge. This project involves the filling of scour holes with suitable material to allow the bridge to be re-opened to pedestrian traffic. The works will involve building a temporary causeway in the river Boyne to gain access to the site of the scour holes. The filling materials will have to be transported by road to the nearest point to the site and delivered to the hole by dumpers/crane. The works also involve stabilisation of the existing piers and abutments and repairs to the bridge deck as well as the associated other ancillary works.
