Description
Five-arch road bridge over river, extant 1838. "Repaired". Repointed coursed rubble limestone walls centred on triangular cutwaters to piers to upriver (north-east) elevation on mass concrete battered bases including central triangular cutwater-cum-pedestrian refuge with repointed squared limestone soldier course coping to parapets. Series of five arches with repointed voussoirs. Sited spanning Robe River with unkempt banks to river.
Appraisal
A narrow bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of Crossboyne: meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
