Forgive this for being a screenshot, I edited the lighting in the photograph, but the original photo was taken by me around 2022.
I chuckle a bit every time I see that bridge π

That's a different bridge. The bridge in the photo is the Samuel Beckitt Bridge.
yep... you're right... I didn't notice that. The story's still funny though (βα’β)
edit: looking at it through Google Street View, the picture in the post was actually taken from the Sean O'Casey bridge XD
Yep it was indeed.
The design includes two 44-metre-long arms, capable of swinging open when required. That operation is controlled by a hand-held remote device but that device went missing some years ago, meaning openings were no longer possible.
The Authority β which is set to be wound-up in the coming months β moved offices several times in the past few years, and itβs understood the remote (which is about the size of a 1990s-era mobile phone) may have been simply misplaced in the move.
Lol
Someone needs to get NASA on the case to remote inject some new code
