Wicklow Way Bridge Washed Away
(November 2011)
The Bridge on the Dargle River in Glensoulan (Grid Ref O 191 121) has been washed away in recent floods. This is the bridge on the stretch of the Wicklow Way between Crone Woods and Djouce, and on the Dargle River immediately above Powerscourt Waterfall.
The river here is only cross-able with care in low flow and crossings should not be undertaken at all following rain or in flood conditions. It is hoped that the bridge will be repaired as soon as possible.
