What is recorded here
Single-arch limestone railway bridge, built 1869, carrying road over Ennis Junction to Athenry railway line. Elliptical arch. Rock-faced rusticated walls, voussoirs, piers and abutments, having recent render coping added to recently rebuilt parapet walls. Abutment walls to both elevations. Ashlar soffit.
This railway bridge, recently restored in anticipation of the reopening of the railway line, is solidly constructed. The rusticated limestone is well dressed and the voussoirs are clearly the work of skilled stonecutters and masons. This is typical of the level of craftsmanship and engineering skill during the expansion of the railways throughout Ireland in the late nineteenth century.
