This bridge in Ballycommon is a good example of canal architecture. It makes a positive and attractive addition to the canalscape and is an important piece of architectural heritage associated with Ireland's inland waterways. Together with 21st Lock, Campbell Bridge, Ballycommon Bridge and the lock keeper's house, they form a significant group of canal architecture.
