Remains of five-span road bridge over river, designed 1867; built 1867-9; opened 1869; replaced 1967, including: Part repointed benchmark-inscribed granite ashlar abutments between cut-granite piers on moulded cushion courses on granite ashlar bases having stringcourses below shallow pyramidal capping with cast-iron balustraded parapets having cut-granite "saddleback" coping. Set on quayside.
The remains of a bridge erected to a design by James Barry Farrell (1810-93), Peter Burtchaell (1820-94) and Samuel Ussher Roberts (1821-1900) replacing a Lemuel Cox (1736-1806)-designed timber bridge (1796) partly destroyed by ice floes (Dublin Builder 8th June 1867, 407; Irish Builder 15th September 1868, 231): meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
