Description
Four-span road bridge, built 1904, consisting of four cast-iron spans resting on concrete piers. Triangular cutwaters on both the upstream and downstream sides of the bridge. Plaque to road side elevation.
Appraisal
This bridge is an excellent example of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century construction. Cast-iron and concrete construction dating from this period is unusual in Ireland. Date from plaque on west side of bridge reads: 'Watergate Bridge 1904 built by J.H. Moore G.S. Collins & Newman. Contractors.'
