The longest precast concrete bridge beams in Ireland and Britain have been placed over a river at Macroom in County Cork, as part of a €280m project to bypass the town.
Each of the seven beams is 50 metres in length and weighs more than 150 tonnes.
It took four nights, garda escorts and some of the best drivers in the country to transport the seven bridge beams from Banagher in County Offaly to Macroom in Cork.
En route, at the Jack Lynch Tunnel in Cork, the drivers had just 20 centimetres or eight inches head space from the ceiling of the tunnel.
