What is recorded here

Eleven-span bascule road bridge over river, designed 1913; opened 1915. Reinforced concrete deck on reinforced concrete cross braced piers with reinforced concrete lattice parapets having lichen-spotted reinforced concrete coping. Sited spanning River Slaney with reed-covered banks to river.

A bridge erected by the British Reinforced Concrete Engineering Company (fl. 1908-90) of Manchester to a design by Alfred Dover Delap (1871-1943) of Dublin (DIA) representing an important component of the early twentieth-century civil engineering heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition, one succeeding a timber trestle bridge erected (1842-4) by James Barry Farrell (1810-93), confirmed not only by the innovative construction in "BRC Fabric", but also by the streamlined lattice work making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the River Slaney (cf. 15702907).
