Saint Patrick's Bridge, which was rebuilt in 1932, is an early Irish concrete beam and slab construction bridge. It follows the architectural style of the period in its Art Deco linear fashion with fluted piers and stepped capping stones. It is of similar design and style to T.S. Duggan's bridge at Ferbane.
