What is recorded here
Bridge in Oldcastle still takes the road over the spot where the Dublin railway used to be. They removed the tracks and left the bridge: the transport equivalent of cancelling the wedding but insisting everyone eat the cake.
Single-arch rock-faced limestone railway bridge with string courses and copings, built c.1880, carrying the road over the former railway track which is now disused.
The former railway bridge once spanned the line between Oldcastle and Dublin. Although the tracks have been removed, the bridge still forms part of the road and is in good condition. Like many of the railway associated structures in the area, this bridge has fine stonework.
