McAdam Design have recently been commissioned by Strabane District Council to design and project manage the construction a £3m cable stayed bridge over the River Mourne. The landmark structure, which will be known as the Melvin Bridge, will span over 85 meters and will be located 250 yards upstream from the existing road bridge. The bridge will enable local residents to have easy access to leisure facilities and public services and provide alternatives routes for pedestrians and cyclists over the River Mourne.
Confirming the scheme Alex Attwood said: "This is good news for people in Strabane. I can confirm that my Department has provided funding to Strabane District Council to undertake detailed design work for the Melvin Bridge.
This Bridge will greatly improve the links between the communities on both sides of the River Mourne, provide greater access to the sporting facilities in Melvin Park, and introduce safer routes to local schools."
