Condition
Ballinyoo Bridge continues as an operational bridge and remains structurally intact. There is evidence of concrete cracking and spalling with some corrosion of the reinforcement steel. Evidence of repair is also apparent. With further concrete repair and waterproofing to protect steel reinforcement the bridge could remain as a crossing. However, the bridge load carrying capacity would need regular assessment with a view to limitation of the load carrying capacity for vehicles. One of the pillars was recently damaged (2009).
