Shannonbridge is in the news this week on account of a large 180 tonnes Generator being transported by road from Dublin to Shannonbridge.It will take five days to cover the 93 miles and last night it reached Rochfordbridge. The load moves at ten to fifteen miles per hour and is causing tailbacks. Every four miles it stops to relieve the traffic and care is needed passing overhead cables as the load is high and sometimes the cables require lifting. It is expected to arrive in Shannonbridge tomorrow Thursday.
