What is recorded here

Single-arched railway bridge, built c.1851, carrying former Midland Great Western Railway Mullingar to Galway line over road. No longer in active use. Constructed of rusticated limestone with elongated rock-faced voussoirs to arch and ashlar limestone copping over parapet. Located to the northeast of Moate.

A robust and elegantly-appointed railway bridge representing an important element of the transport 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 Galway line, which opened 1851 and closed in 1987. This bridge is one of a number of similar bridges in south Westmeath associated with this company. This bridge is well-built using rock-faced local limestone, a typical feature of mid nineteenth-century engineering projects of this nature. The elongated voussoirs to the arch are a distinctive feature. This bridge is an appealing feature in the landscape to the north of Moate.
