Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure (i) whether her Department holds a copy of an archaeological evaluation of the Boyne Bridge, South Belfast; and (ii) if so, whether she would lay a copy of the same in the Assembly Library.

Answer:

I can confirm that my Department holds a copy of an Archaeological Evaluation and Bridge Coring preliminary Report, which discusses the coring of the south end of the Boyne Bridge in Sandy Row, Belfast in order to establish whether or not the 17th century Saltwater Bridge over the Blackstaff River still exists in a buried state at its south end.

A copy of this report will be provided to the Assembly Library. This report is also available to view on the planning portal using the reference number LA04/2020/0223/DC.
