What is recorded here

Triple-arch bridge, built c.1908, carrying road over former Strabane to Letterkenny railway line. Coursed rubble stone walls and parapets, latter with rendered chamfered copings. Raised rendered voussoirs to round arches, with chamfered margins on rendered rusticated piers.
A particularly well-built bridge that is part of the civil engineering legacy of Donegal. It was constructed as part of the Strabane to Letterkenny narrow gauge railway line, built by CDRJC (County Donegal Railways Joint Committee), opened in 1909 and closed in 1960. The composition of the bridge is elegant, with three segmental arches. The rendered voussoirs contrast pleasantly with the coursed rubble stone walls.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
