The skeleton of the new cycle and pedestrian bridge across the Shannon in Athlone should be in place by the end of September this year.
Work is due to start in earnest on the construction of the bridge early next month in order to abide by rules set out from Waterways Ireland.
No work can take place in the water during the salmon spawning season over the winter months and the aim is to have the main structure finished over the summer months.
