    According to this week’s Liffey Champion.

    More works are needed to be carried out to the bridge in order to repair the western side which is leaning.

    It will have to be addressed in the future but at the moment it is perfectly safe according to the Area Engineer Jonathan Deane.

    According to Cllr Anthony Larkin the previous closure was an economic boost to business on the Main Street and at Riverforest Shopping Centre.

    Its The Champion, its probably not true. They seem to have a quota of about three positive headlines a year. This one coming hot on the heels of a ridiculous scare story about burglars pretending to be Irish Water staff...

    I can't see how the closure would have any effect at all on business, seeing as its not like there's easy parking for someone to pop in to a business while passing.

    The report in the Liffey Champion is in correct. It was a Councillor (he is not an engineer) who stated that it looked like the bridge was leaning on the western side (work was carried out on the estern side). The Area Engineers said that is was not leaning on the western side and that it was perfectly safe.

    Although (according to the report) the Area Engineer declared the bridge perfectly safe he didn't seem to disagree that further work would be required at some stage.

    He is quoted as saying "It needs further work but we were very anxious to re-open the road".

    As a Councillor you were probably at the meeting.

    The Liffey Champion does not always quote correctly. As the engineer said the bridge is perfectly safe.
