The Lady Desart Bridge in Kilkenny City is to close for nine days from next Monday while essential remedial work is carried out on it.

The familiar blue structure is to get a fresh coat of paint as part of the works, for which a contractor has been appointed. It’s understood the work could cost up to €20,000.
