The new central access scheme road and bridge opens temporarily today for the “Streets of Kilkenny” run.
The event which is organised by Kilkenny City Harriers sees a five-kilometre run around the city streets with the route going over the new bridge twice from 7 o’clock.
Tim Butler from Kilkenny County Council says walkers can get a sneak preview this evening from 6pm organised by the Recreation and Sports Partnership.
