Twoford Bridges

Five-arched road bridge over River Suir, built c. 1800, of roughly coursed limestone construction. Four round arches with cut limestone voussoirs and fifth flat arch is concrete rebuild. Dressed limestone coping to parapets and with V-cutwaters to upstream elevation only.

This bridge is one of a pair of attractive bridges crossing the river Suir. Its construction serves as a reminder of the engineering achievements and the quality of local craftsmanship in the early nineteenth century. The bridge is of solid dressed and roughly coursed limestone construction, with finely executed ashlar voussoirs. The concrete arch represents a rebuilding after it was blown up in the Civil War in the 1920s.
