​The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads (including bridges) in Kildare is the statutory responsibility of Kildare County Council, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993-2015.  The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is also a matter for the Council.

The assessment of options in relation to bridges in County Kildare, including at Celbridge is, therefore, a matter for consideration by Kildare County Council.
