- Noise generated by traffic crossing a rickety bridge over the River Shannon is keeping the citizens of Lanesboro awake at night.
A bailey bridge across the River Shannon linking County Longford with County Roscommon has been at Lanesboro (Lanesborough) since 1959. What began as a temporary crossing for pedestrian and vehicle traffic became more permanent, and since its erection, thousands of pounds have been spent on the upkeep of the bridge.
Noise generated by traffic crossing the pre-fabricated bridge can be heard for miles around. In addition, there have been numerous accidents on the bridge over the past month. Two local men are eager to see the demise of this make shift bridge.
We’ve been complaining for years about this thing.
The men believe noise pollution is costing Lanesboro dearly in terms of tourism. Ordinarily, people coming from Athlone across Lough Ree would rest at Lanesboro. However due to the noise levels from the rickety bridge, boats and cabin cruisers are avoiding Lanesboro, preferring to go further upstream to shop for provisions and enjoy a quiet night’s sleep.
Termonbarry, in County Roscommon, once in a similar predicament to Lanesboro, now has a good bridge. Roscommon County Council is making an effort to have Lanesboro’s bailey bridge removed and a new bridge constructed at an estimated cost of £55,000. However, progress is slow. One man thinks the delay could be due to the involvement of two county councils and conflict about sharing the cost of a new bridge.

Lordy that must be a ride on the devil's backbone when it freezes up.
Great video CR. I love these a lot.
Sounds like the big finish in Riverdance!
😂
If only they could have mixed that with Trom agus Eadrom! A few kickn beats.
Frank Hall interviewing two gentlemen on the merits of Roscommon County Council. A eloquent, relaxed and informed interview!
You are a very wise person, you noticed what I also noticed, 2 people like us we should be able to take on this world and give it good directions, but I want 50pc of the takings, do you agree to this
This was actually filmed in colour, but this is just the Irish seasons, warm grey and wet or cold grey and wet.
In tasmania there was a temporary bridge called the bailey bridge as the main bridge got hit by a boat in 1975 , it was probably a km long and it sounded just like this one
It's like an excerpt from Father Ted. Did the good folk of Lanesborough not have a whip around or Longford County Council budget to buy a few rolls of all weather carpet. Or even apply for a government noisy bridge tourism grant.
seems like that oculd have been a sketch from Hall's Pictorial Weekly
What a dapper couple of gents.
This became like a comedy sketch haha.
Let's get ready to RUMMMMBLE! hahaha..... WHAT?? I said. ...let's g RUMBLERUMBLE feck.

1:40 "so it's *brrGRUMMBBUBUBBUUBBGRRRNNMBNNMMBNnnnn* under those conditions"
"Sorry?"
been watching a lot of these, and a lot of them are less like todays news features and more just like acquaintances having conversations

Surely between the pair of them they could have battened it down. Advanced stuff))

I know the 3rd car is VW1600 Variant. Can anyone identify the first two?
White car is a fiat 850 and the other is a fiat 124 estate.
It DUP yes we fear it Thomas. Scotland thinks it mild DUP it harmless.
It could be called Thunder Road but then people would get sued for big money by my 2nd cousin Bruce Springsteen, he has more money than he needed so call it Tunder Bridger/Road, that should get over any legal problem. Notice when an Irish man begins to give his honest opening to a journalist with a microphone or with a TV camera he ill lean up against a wall, A bridge, A fence, A wall, A horse, A donkey, A Car, A tractor, A fast-moving train Or a pretty woman if she happened to be passing by at that convenient time
Oh bhoy, that coach is totes a vomit comet!
