What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge, built c.1850, over former Cork to Blackrock and Passage West railway line. Limestone rusticated rock-faced walls and barrel with margined rock-faced voussoirs to segmental arches, dressed limestone platbands and ashlar limestone parapet with replacement brick coping. Railway line now used as walk path.

The rock-faced rustication reinforces the sense of strength and sturdiness of this structure. The bridge is one of a group of bridges that serviced the former railway line which formed a part of the development of the suburbs and port of Cork. It is an important part of the former Blackrock and Passage West railway line which is now used as an amenity walk.
