Marlborough Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Six-span metal beam bridge, c.1940, carrying road over a branch of the River Shannon. Abutments and piers of concrete. Piers extended upstream to accommodate vertical metal sluice gates with V-cutwaters. Timber deck. Parapets with metal handrails.

This is a good example of a mid twentieth-century metal beam bridge. The addition of the sluice gates add to the technical interest of the bridge. It replaced a mid nineteenth-century accommodation bridge. This bridge was erected by the Office of Public Works.
