New bridge at Salmon Weir to be named in coming months

The new cycle and pedestrian bridge at Salmon Weir will be named over the coming months. 

The first step will be the adoption of a new naming policy at the June meeting of Galway City Council. 

Several names for the bridge have been put forward by community groups, but the local authority has remained tight-lipped on any emerging favourites. 

The public will also be able to make suggestions before any final decision is taken. 

Speaking to Galway Talks, Mayor of Galway Clodagh Higgins says a lot of work will go into ensuring the right name is chosen.
