Earlier this summer, the Sisk x Sorensen JV reached an important milestone on the Adare Bypass with the successful installation of the bridge girders over the River Maigue.

Spanning 210m across three spans, including a 94m central span over the river, the bridge presented a significant engineering and logistical challenge. Months of detailed planning went into the lifting operation, with all lifts successfully completed over a 15-day programme.

The works also saw one of the largest crawler cranes operating in Ireland and the UK brought to site, supporting the installation of a bridge incorporating approximately 2,500 tonnes of steel.

It’s a major piece of infrastructure taking shape and one that will play an important role in improving connectivity across the region.

The Adare Bypass forms Phase 1A of the wider Foynes to Limerick Road project, connecting two new interchange junctions at Adare and Croagh and progressing towards completion ahead of the Ryder Cup in 2027.

Behind every lift is months of planning, precision, and collaboration by our vastly experienced site team. We’re proud to be part of the Joint Venture team delivering this landmark project.
