The River Suir Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the River Suir under construction in the Republic of Ireland. It is being built as part of the N25 Waterford Bypass, [cite web | title = N25 Waterford City Bypass | publisher = National Roads Authority | url = http://www.nra.ie/RoadSchemeActivity/WaterfordCityCouncil/N25WaterfordCityBypass/SchemeName,15399,en.html | accessdate = 2008-09-13 ] and is expected to open to traffic in late 2010.cite web | title = River Suir Bridge | publisher = Waterford City Council | url = http://www.waterfordcity.ie/n25bypass/bridge.htm | accessdate = 2008-09-13 ]

When complete, the 230 metre main span will be the longest span bridge in Ireland, stealing that title from the Boyne River Bridge on the Dublin to Belfast M1 motorway.

Overview

The cable-stayed bridge with its 100 metre tall tower, will be a landmark structure for Waterford City and surrounding areas. The tower will be constructed on the south side of the river. A series of “stay cables” will fan out from the top of the tower to support the main span at intervals of about 10 metres. Corresponding cables fan to the back spans using the weight of the back span and anchor piles to balance the forces and “keep the tower standing straight”.
