London Bridge

London Bridge is a stone bridge crossing a waterway in Dublin with multiple arches and sturdy supporting piers throughout its length. The structure displays solid stonework crafted in the classical style with a simple, functional design.

The bridge was completed in 1857 as part of Dublin's expanding transportation network during the 19th century. The project represented a significant step forward in crossing the city's waterways with modern stone construction methods.

The bridge represents a period of engineering advancement in Ireland during the nineteenth century when stone bridges became standard urban features.

The bridge is open to vehicle and pedestrian traffic and can be crossed at any time of day. Visitors should take care when it is wet, as the stone surface can become slippery in rain or damp conditions.

Recent security measures have transformed the bridge into a monitored crossing point following its identification as a potential target in 2020.
