Majors Bridge is a single span masonry arch structure on the A34 Lisnagole Road. It is located near the northwest edge of Lisnaskea.
Infrastructure NI writes:
During a routine bridge inspection in July 2017 excessive deflection of the arch barrel was observed when under loading by HGV vehicles. Following further monitoring and assessment the road was closed to one-way traffic for a short period while temporary strengthening works were undertaken. This interim measure allowed the road to be re-opened to two-way traffic while the design and procurement of a replacement bridge was progressed.
In April 2019, a £350,000 bridge replacement scheme commenced to replace the old arch structure with a modern bridge.
