What is recorded here
Broadboyne Bridge in Dunmoe has little triangular refuges where pedestrians can tuck themselves out of the traffic. Even halfway across a river, Meath has provided somewhere to stand for forty minutes saying, ‘Right, I'll let you go.’
Six-arch limestone road bridge over river, built c.1820. Roughly dressed stone walls with ashlar copings. Triangular cutwaters to upstream and downstream elevations, which form pedestrian refuges on road side elevations.
This bridge makes a striking and positive contribution to the surrounding area. Of particular note are the cutwaters which form pedestrian refuges on the road side elevations.
