The old Killaloe Bridge will undergo a pedestrianisation trial next month. From July 28th until early October, the 18th Century bridge connecting Killaloe and Ballina will be closed to vehicular traffic to assess the demand this will place on the new Shannon Bridge Crossing. It's understood that since the €88m Brian Boru bridge opened in May, that over 4,500 vehicles are still traversing the old bridge each week. Killaloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Tony O'Brien believes the trial will conclusively prove that both bridges need to serve vehicular traffic.
