Islandbridge, Road bridge in Dublin, Ireland
The stone bridge with an elliptical arch spans the River Liffey, connecting South Circular Road to Conyngham Road near Phoenix Park.
Built between 1791 and 1793 to replace an earlier structure destroyed by floods, the bridge was designed by Alexander Stevens.
The name changed from Sarah's Bridge to Islandbridge in 1922 following Ireland's independence, reflecting the national identity transformation.
The 32-meter-long bridge provides direct access to Phoenix Park and remains an essential transportation link in western Dublin.
Archaeological excavations near the bridge revealed Viking burial sites from the 9th and 10th centuries, indicating early Norse settlements.
