Bridge in Ballytarsna

Single-arch hump back road bridge over railway line, opened 1906. Rendered channelled walls between rendered channelled battered abutment walls with lichen-spotted rendered chamfered stringcourses supporting parapets having concrete chamfered coping. Single segmental arch with red brick header bond voussoirs. Sited spanning railway line with unkempt embankments to railway line.

A bridge identified as an integral component of the early twentieth-century civil engineering of south County Wexford on account of the connections with the development of the Fishguard and Rosslare Railway (FRR) line opened (1906) by the Fishguard and Rosslare Railways and Harbours (FRRH) Company with the architectural value of the composition confirmed not only by the channelled surface finish facing an innovative mass concrete "hearting", but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the railway line.
