Read the whole record

A robust and elegantly-appointed railway bridge representing an important element of the transport and civil engineering heritage of County Westmeath. This bridge was originally built by the Midland and Great Western Railway Company to serve the Mullingar to Athlone line, which opened 1851 and closed in 1987. This bridge is one of a number of similar bridges in the area associated with this company. The narrow round-headed opening and the snecked retaining walls give this bridge a distinctly tunnel-like appearance. This bridge is well-built using rock-faced and snecked limestone, a typical feature of mid nineteenth-century engineering projects of this nature.
