Ballycahill Bridge, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Ballycahill Bridge wears its cement repairs on the side facing upstream. Two centuries holding up a road, and it still has to face every approaching drop of the Camoge with a bit of plaster on its chin.

Single-arch road bridge over the River Camoge, built c. 1800, having coursed rubble limestone walls. Round-headed arches with tooled limestone voussoirs. Cement repairs to upstream (south) elevation. Cement block walling to upstream river bank.

This sturdy bridge is a solidly constructed example of a nineteenth-century road bridge, a tribute the to engineering and craftsmanship of local workers of the period. The recent cement repairs illustrate the sites continuing importance to the infrastructure of the area.
