Droichead Ghaoth Beara [Gweenbarra Bridge] is one of the most impressive reinforced concrete bridges in Ireland. It takes traffic across Abhainn Ghaoth Beara [Gweebarra River] by means of a structure of shallow arches over round piers. The pierced balustrades provide detail at road level. It replaces a nine-span lattice girder bridge on screw-pile piers, built in 1894-6 for the Congested Districts Board. The present bridge is a dramatic and elegant feature in the landscape and an essential part of the road infrastructure of Dún na nGall [County Donegal].
