What is recorded here

Single-arch hump-backed railway bridge, built c.1850, carrying main road over former railway line. Constructed of roughly dressed limestone with an rock-faced limestone voussoirs to arch, a projecting ashlar limestone string course at road level and ashlar limestone coping over parapet. Located to the northeast of Mullingar
A robustly-detailed bridge forming an integral part of the railway and civil engineering heritage of County Westmeath. This bridge was originally built by the Midland and Great Western Railway Company to serve the Mullingar to Longford line, which was built between 1848 and 1855 and opened to traffic in October 1855. The construction in rock-faced limestone with ashlar detailing produces an appealing textured visual effect. It forms part of an important collection of railway-related structures in the area and is an appealing feature along the main Mullingar to Longford Road to the northwest side of Mullingar Town.
