The road to the power plant has been widened to about seven metres and
about 102 trees were removed in the operation. The road will be closed for
three days for resurfacing and Sid Tolchin and Penny in California who are
visiting in September might have considered flying their own plane but this
time to Shannonbridge if they had known in time. Sid years ago flew solo in
a small plane from San Diego to Shannon with fuel stops in America,Canada
and Iceland. Leaving Ireland he got special permission to fly over Shannonbridge
and many people waved sheets and towels in a farewell gesture. Look out for
them about mid September but this time on the ground.
