Meanwhile, some 20,000 motorists have been left facing major disruption in Cork after a stretch of the Lower Glanmire Road in the city collapsed into the river Lee yesterday during construction work by a contractor working for Iarnród Éireann, writes Barry Roche, Southern Correspondent, in Cork.
The section of roadway near the Skew Bridge in Tivoli collapsed into the River Lee at about 11am yesterday when Ascon was carrying out work to broaden the roadway to link it with a new bridge being built over the Cork-Cobh railway line near Bellevue Villas.
It is understood piling work was carried out in the river to support a broadening of the road to accommodate the bridge and, in the course of excavating material inside the piled area, 30 metres of quay wall collapsed
