What is recorded here

Single-span railway bridge, built 1851, carrying road over Dublin to Galway railway line. Cast-iron and steel central span supported on rock-faced rusticated limestone abutments with rounded ends and having cut-stone string course and carved stone copings to parapets. Cut limestone approach walls and causeway.

This typically robust mid-nineteenth-century railway bridge is of considerable technical and civil engineering merit. It is built using the heavily rusticated rock-faced masonry finish that is a typical feature of railway bridges constructed during the mid-nineteenth century, giving an impression of strength and solidity and is a good example of the combined use of limestone and cast-metal.
