Shesknan Bridge Replacement and Civil Engineering Works in Ireland

This is a civil engineering and construction opportunity for the complete replacement of Shesknan Bridge, a single-span masonry arch bridge in Ireland. The bridge is in poor structural condition with partial collapse and requires full replacement due to advanced deterioration including reinforcement corrosion, section loss, and spalling. The scope of work includes: site mobilisation and establishment; temporary works and access provision; demolition of defective bridge components; replacement of bridge deck, parapet walls, abutments, and wingwalls; vegetation clearance and habitat measures; road reinstatement, surfacing, and safety barrier installation; and final inspection and handover. The bridge is approximately 6 metres in span and supports a local road crossing over a natural watercourse. Suppliers should note that repair-only strategies have been determined to be uneconomical and short-lived, making full replacement the recommended solution. This is a comprehensive project requiring expertise in bridge demolition, masonry arch construction, civil engineering, and road infrastructure.
