    Stupid question but can you walk across the East Link bridge. Working in Grand Canal and just looking at accomodation around East Wall and trying to plan a route to work. I know you can cycle etc but just wondering are pedestrians allowed on it?

    Cheers!

    Yes you can walk over the East Link and then down to Ringsend Church , turn right and over the bridge to Ringsend Road.

    If you are working around the basin on the Sir John Rogersons Quay Area you could use the steps at the bridge and then walk over the lock gates on to Hanover Quay

    yes, but if you stop on the bridge when the bridge goes up, the operator will wave at you to move away so no stones fall on you. :)

    Yes, you can walk across. And be careful if cycling on a windy day, it can be lethal on that bridge due to the windswept location

    It never ceases to amazing me that people go to the bother of answering the question when it has been definitively answered already. :confused:

    Your not allowed to fish off the east link bridge and I've not seen anyone fish on either the north or southside of the liffey in Years.

    They used to fish from under the Grand Canal Dock sign maybe 20 odd years ago (The Dodder/Liffey join) this was mainly for the sport as all you got was mullet.
    If your cycling in a car on motor bike you may as well head on up the lighthouse about 10-15 mins cycle or 2 mins in the car.
