Description
Single-arch road bridge, built 1835, carrying road over River Lee. Segmental arch having margined channelled ashlar limestone voussoirs, cut-stone string course with dressed stone blocks to parapet having segmental-coping and tooled bands.
Appraisal
A finely-executed limestone bridge, designed by Marc Isambard Brunel, with careful detailing to the arch and to the coping stones. The bridge parapet adds character and texture to the streetscape. It forms part of a group with the other historic bridges in the city.
