Good News - Letterbrick Bridge finally received it's upgrade. Well it is on the main Ballybofey to Glenties/Dungloe R252 that carries articulated lorries to and from Aldi's, Lidle, Supervalue Killybegs Harbour etc so it is only in the interest of road safety that this dangerous, condemned bridge was finally upgraded. </div>

This bridge is a disgrace and a danger to road traffic users. Road Haulage companies pay thousands in road tax, insurance, fuel surcharges and deserve better. Ordinary motorists pay a fortune also in road taxes, insurance and fuel surcharges and deserve better. If a lorry gets stuck on this bridge (which is through no fault of their own) they miss ferry connections and deadlines.</div>
