Single-arch masonry railway bridge, built c.1859, carrying the Portarlington Athlone railway line pver the River Tullamore. Erected by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. Rock-faced abutments with rusticated and margined quoins. Skew arch of segmental profile. Arch has rusticated voussoirs and dressed string course. Spandrels of squared random rubble. Concrete parapets with tubular steel handrail.
The stonework to this bridge has been skillfully executed. It forms part of the railway structures in Tullamore and is of similar design to many railway bridges around the country. It is one of the finest masonry rail over river bridges on the line with its skew span which enhances the riverscape.
