Project Awarded to Power Right: Narrow Water Bridge

Power Right are delighted to have been awarded the 3 Year Contract for CCTV Monitoring for this historic project that aims to connect communities north and south of the Irish border and is expected to boost local economic growth and tourism footfall.

The €102 million landmark bridge awarded to the Royal BAM Group, funded by the Shared Island Fund, is a longstanding commitment of the Irish Government, reflected in the Programme for Government and New Decade, New Approach agreement.

The 195 metre cable-stayed bridge is designed to high sustainability standards and will accommodate vehicular, cycle and pedestrian traffic. It will be a lynchpin connection for cross-border travel and recreational activities in the Carlingford Lough region and offer easy access to greenways, mountain bike trails, walking routes and beaches. The bridge is also expected to develop the wider Carlingford Lough area into a major Irish tourism destination, linking access between the villages of Warrenpoint, Rostrevor and Carlingford.

Narrow Water Bridge will connect the A2 Newry to Warrenpoint dual carriageway in Northern Ireland with the R173 at Omeath in the Republic. It will also have the ability to open to allow for the passage of ships through and on to the Newry Canal.

Power Right in partnership with our CCTV Monitoring partners RE:SURE will be providing AI Powered Perimeter CCTV Detection with Audio Intervention and Monitoring for the duration of the projection. 🛡️
