A dilapidated bridge identified as an integral component of the late nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Mayo on account of the connections with the development of the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) line by the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) Company, the so-called "Burma Road" opened (1895) in response to Arthur James Balfour's Light Railways (Ireland) Act, 1889.
