What is recorded here

Two railway bridges, eastern carrying Dublin and Drogheda Railway, built 1842, and western carrying Great Southern and Western Railway (and now, the DART line) built 1903, both spanning Ossory Road and Liffey Line of Midland Great Western Railway and Royal Canal. Earlier bridge comprises central coursed masonry piers and outer vaulted underpasses carrying superstructure of iron girders and trusses. Underpass to northeast over Ossory Road and second to southwest over Royal Canal tow-path. Random-coursed rock-faced masonry blocks to piers of underpasses. Cut-stone soffits, and cut-stone voussoirs to arches with plat-band and random-coursed stone parapet to west. Bridge extension to east comprising concrete piers and concrete deck superstructure. Later bridge comprises two central round-plan steel piers with outer rock-faced coursed masonry piers supporting girders of bridge with trusses to sides. Plates and rivets hold iron members in place. Steel parapet wall and railings to span over Ossory Road. Electrical power cables supported on steel uprights above bridge.
