A million crossings
Aideen McGinley, Chief Executive of Ilex said: “This is a significant milestone. The Peace Bridge has become a much-loved, much-used route for the people of Derry-Londonderry , reaching out symbolically and physically to connect communities across the city.
“The bridge is a focal point for charity fundraising and is changing lifestyles. Its impact is immense, not least economically. The growing number of visitors to the city have made the bridge a must-see destination and it was in the top four tourist attractions in Northern Ireland last year, putting the city on the global map as we approach 2013”.
