Londonderry's Peace Bridge closes temporarily for lighting upgrade

Overview

The Peace Bridge in Londonderry has closed temporarily as part of a project to replace existing fluorescent lighting with a modern, low-energy LED system. The current phase of work, which includes updating the lights on the bridge's spires, is scheduled to last until Friday. Pedestrians and cyclists are advised to use the Craigavon Bridge instead, and commuters have been urged to allow extra time for their journeys. The overall upgrade is expected to take a number of weeks and aims to be fully operational for the city's annual Halloween festival.
