Action! Cameras Capture Building of Peace Bridge

Story added 31 March 2010

Peace Bridge

Time-lapse cameras showing the construction of the Peace Bridge can now be viewed on the Ilex website. Funded by the EU Peace III programme, the bridge is scheduled for completion this December.

The first camera is located on the top of the City Hotel and provides panoramic views across the Foyle while the second camera is located on Ebrington. Both record images of the construction at regular intervals. The images can be viewed by logging on to: www.ilex-urc.com.

The most significant capital project in the city for decades, the Peace Bridge is designed for pedestrians and cyclists. It will run from behind Guildhall Square to the Ebrington embankment linking through the former Parade Ground to the Limavady Road. Construction commenced in early January and preparatory works such as the construction of steel are currently being carried out off site.

Sean Currie, Ilex's Programme Manager said: "We're delighted that the construction of the Peace Bridge can be followed on-line by everyone in the city and further afield. The cameras capture still images every few minutes which are combined to make a film of the construction which is then speeded up to provide a 'snapshot' of the current construction phase. The film will be regularly updated with some still images being added. The cameras will also capture images of the re-development of the parade ground on Ebrington which will start soon".
