The bridge linking Mizen Head lighthouse to the mainland is due to be officially reopened today.
The bridge was closed in 2005 after it was deemed unsafe.
The new bridge - which is almost 50 metres above the Atlantic - connects the mainland to Cloghane Island.
It cost €1.8m and was funded by Fáilte Ireland, the Commissioners of Irish Lights and Cork County Council.
The station and the bridge are popular tourist attractions with more than 60,000 people visiting the sites every year.
Minister for Transport, Leo Varadkar will officially reopen the bridge this afternoon.
