Nine Arches Bridge

The Nine Arches Bridge stretches across the River Dodder with its granite construction featuring nine distinct spans that support the Luas Green Line.

Built in 1854 for the Dublin & Wicklow railway line, the bridge remained inactive from 1958 until 2004 when it was renovated for the Luas tram system.

The bridge represents nineteenth-century engineering methods and stands as a protected structure under Dublin City Council's preservation guidelines.

The structure functions exclusively for tram transportation on the Luas Green Line, without provision for pedestrian access across the River Dodder.

Each of the nine granite arches maintains its original structural integrity while supporting modern overhead power lines necessary for contemporary tram operations.
