Description

Belfast City Councils chief executive criticizes Stormonts pause on Ormeau Bridge project, calling it senseless. The A-five Western Transport Corridor road upgrades legal battles have delayed the hundred forty-three-meter cable-stayed bridge, which would link communities across the River Lagan and boost access to the city center and leisure spots. Local leaders express frustration, with the chief executive pointing out no legal challenges loom and rising construction costs. The infrastructure minister assures projects like the Ormeau Bridge remain live, with tenders extended to preserve progress. Belfast Council pushes for clarity and swift action to build the long-awaited bridge.
