Council Examining Feasibility Of Street Lighting On Notorious Ennis Bridge

Fresh concern has been raised over the lack of visibility on a bridge near a popular Clare amenity. At this month’s meeting of Ennis’s local elected representatives, Mayor of Ennis and Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard has highlighted her concern regarding the lack of lighting on the Droichead na Gabhair bridge located close to Lees Road. The proposed LIHAF project between the Claureen Roundabout and Drumcliffe Road would include the installation of new public lighting which would end approximately 70 metres west from the bridge. Ennis Municipal District will explore the possibility of lighting the bridge which Councillor Howard believes could prevent a future accident.
