Boyne Viaduct, Railway bridge in Drogheda, Ireland.
The Boyne Viaduct spans the River Boyne with fifteen stone arches and reaches a height of 30 meters above the water level.
Sir John Benjamin Macneill designed this railway bridge, which was constructed between 1853 and 1855 as the seventh structure of its type globally.
The bridge, known as Tarbhealach na Bóinne in Irish, represents a milestone in Irish railway engineering from the Victorian industrial period.
The viaduct carries the main Dublin-Belfast railway line, facilitating transportation between the two major cities with regular train service.
The structure underwent major modifications in 1932 when workers replaced the original iron components with steel while maintaining continuous train operations.
