Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945, as amended, the Office of Public Works is responsible for the maintenance of arterial drainage schemes completed under the Act. This responsibility does not extend to the construction of new bridges on existing schemes. The OPW is investigating whether the access structure in question forms part of an arterial drainage scheme under its care.
