Is this the bridge on the Foxford side with the handball alley beside it?

No, the one just outside Swinford on the Foxford road.

Plans are online (cannot post the link as im new to this game!)

This bridge also cuts out a number of the worst bends on that stretch of road.
Anyone know at what stage of the planning process are the bypasses of Foxford/Swinford and other stretches that need alignment?

They are in the middle of tearing up the road both sides of the bridge at the moment. Not sure why it wasnt kept until the bridge work was done

I saw something about that alright. Complete resurface, and I think its being done all the way into the square in the centre of Swinford. Must have a few bags of money to get rid of!
