Over half a million euros in funding has been allocated by the Department of Transport to 'Bridge Rehabilitation Works' in Waterford.
Among the projects are the Kilmacthomas Viaduct and People's Park pedestrian bridge which received €100,000 each.
In total, the department allocated €17.6m for local and regional roads across Waterford city and county.
Director of Services with Waterford Council Fergus Galvin says the People Park's Bridge needs a significant facelift.
"Many people would know Carlisle Bridge as the pedestrian bridge which spans from the park over into the grounds of Waterford Courthouse.
"The money that we have been given there is money we have been looking for, for a couple of years at this stage to refurbish the bridge.
"The Carlisle Bridge is a historic structure that date backs 140-150 years, and it's about time it got a facelift," Galvin says.
Among the other projects to be allocated funding, is the Kilmacthomas Viaduct which Fergus Galvin says has become even more iconic due to the Greenway.
"In the context of the Greenway, the Viaduct has become even more iconic, as it is a key link in the Greenway across Kilmacthomas.
"We will be hoping to carry out repair and maintenance works there, so we will be able to preserve the life of that bridge for another generation.
