The new Pedestrian Bridge on the Quin Road in Ennis will not open before the end of the month.
Clare County Council has told local representatives that the earliest possible date for the bridge to become available to the public is October 24th.
Work has been ongoing in the area for several months to allow for a new Foot and Cycle Bridge over the Railway.
Irish Rail say that no disruption to services will be experienced, in this, the last leg of the building process.
