What is recorded here
Bridge in Corballis stands on pairs of iron columns, after a timber bridge and an earlier iron bridge had their turns. By the third attempt, you'd stand with your legs apart too.
Multiple-span cast-iron railway bridge, built 1896-7 by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Co. Ltd. Pairs of cast-iron columns supporting bridge with cast-iron parapet railings.
This bridge replaces another iron bridge built 1859. The original viaduct of 1844 was timber. It makes a dramatic and notable contribution to the streetscape in Laytown. Its imposing form dominates the surrounding landscape. It forms part of an interesting group of railway structures with Laytown station, and with other related structures along the railway line from Drogheda to Dublin.
