Loopline Bridge, Railway viaduct in North Quays, Ireland.
The Loopline Bridge extends 484 meters across the River Liffey, connecting Dublin's northern and southern railway networks through a latticed iron structure.
Engineer John Chaloner Smith designed this transportation link in 1891 for the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway company to facilitate Victorian-era industrialization.
The bridge maintains a connection with neighboring architecture through faux granite piers that mirror the design elements of the Custom House.
The structure carries DART services and regular rail traffic at 6 meters above street level, linking multiple suburban areas to Dublin's center.
During the 1916 Rising, the bridge sustained damage from HMS Helga's artillery fire while the British ship targeted Liberty Hall.
