Five-arch hump-backed road bridge over River Suir, built c.1825, with terminating arches spanning pedestrian walk-ways on each bank. Coursed rubble sandstone and limestone walls with cut limestone voussoirs to elliptical arches, cut limestone capping to parapet walls and having limestone plaque. Cut-stone V-cut-waters to both elevations. Flight of concrete steps with rubble stone parapet walls to north quay.
This five-arch road bridge is a significant part of the architectural heritage of Clonmel, as the rubble walls and cut-stone voussoirs were clearly executed by skilled craftsmen and the large scale shows engineering skill. The arches spanning the pedestrian walkways on either bank are an interesting feature of the design.
