Description
Railway bridge, carrying Athenry-Tuam railway line over road, built c.1885, and comprising iron girder deck supported on abutments of rusticated limestone blocks having sloping walls flanking each abutment, with rusticated caps to each side of abutments and rounded copings to flanking walls.
Appraisal
This small railway bridge maintains the high-quality tradition of railway engineering, through its well crafted large stone blocks and heavy rustication.
