What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone railway bridge, built 1851, carrying road over Dublin to Galway railway line. Rock-faced rusticated walls, parapet walls and piers, and cut-stone string courses. Segmental arch with ashlar soffit, cut limestone impost course and rock-faced rusticated voussoirs.

This railway bridge exhibits high quality construction and detailing, with the rustication giving an expression of strength. It is enhanced, further, by its proximity to the railway station and its high visibility. Built by the Midland Great Western Railway Company, it is a typical example of mid-nineteenth-century railway engineering.
