Shannon Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Sixteen-arch road bridge, completed in 1757, spanning the River Shannon. Concrete fixed span added to east end in 1983. Random coursed limestone walls with ashlar voussoirs to round-headed arch-rings. Stone corbels to rendered soffits. Cut stone string courses to parapets surmounted by cut stone coping. Full-height upstream and downstream V-cutwaters with pedestrian refuges to parapet. Limestone plaque to east end gives dates for bridges construction and opening to navigation. Modern metal lamp standards to road surface.

Lending its name to the village located on the Offaly side of the river, Shannonbridge is one of the finest viaducts in Ireland. The massive sixteen-arched structure is a testament to eighteenth-century engineering and stone masonry. Spanning Ireland's longest river, the bridge links Counties Roscommon and Offaly and as such is of vital importance to the region.
