This railway bridge formerly carried the Dundalk to Derry railway over the Newbliss to Monaghan road. It is of well constructed limestone masonry and its elevations are distinguished by the wide segmental road arch and the smaller and lower arch to the stream. The structure makes a strong impression on the approach to Newbliss from Monaghan.
