First Bridge Spans Arrive in Waterford – Delivered by GPS Avenger
In the early hours of Sunday morning, 19th May, the GPS Avenger arrived on the River Suir, towing the first set of spans for Waterford’s new Sustainable Transport Bridge. The Cypriot-flagged tug, purpose-built for long-distance marine towage, navigated the estuary in spectacular weather, with its cargo destined to transform Waterford’s North Quays.
The bridge spans are now positioned at Frank Cassin Wharf where the HEBO 9 floating crane awaits the lifting and installation phase.
The bridge, a centrepiece of the North Quays Public Infrastructure Project, will provide a connection between Waterford’s city centre and the new North Quays development. Still to come are the final spans, en route aboard the tug Anteos, completing the picture before installation begins.
Keep following for updates as this landmark project continues to unfold.
