As project architects, we were extremely proud to welcome Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary TD, to the official opening of the restored footbridge at Killykeen Forest Park on 7 May 2026. The Minister cut the ribbon on the newly restored crossing, which was funded through a €323,130 Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme grant alongside a €204,095 investment by Cavan County Council. The bridge, which connects the Cavan town and Killeshandra sides of the park over Lough Oughter, is a much-loved landmark within one of Cavan’s most visited forest parks. It was a great occasion to see the project completed and handed back to the community and the many walkers, cyclists, and visitors who enjoy Killykeen throughout the year. Craftstudio look forward to seeing the bridge become a renewed centrepiece of this beautiful park.
