Broadmeadow viaduct, Railway bridge in Malahide, Ireland
The Broadmeadow Viaduct extends 180 meters across an estuary, carrying the Dublin to Belfast railway line north of Malahide station.
The original structure, built in 1843 as a timber viaduct for the Dublin and Drogheda Railway, required reinforcement with stones around its piers for stabilization.
The viaduct represents a vital transportation link between Dublin and Belfast, supporting regional connectivity and economic development across eastern Ireland.
The bridge accommodates approximately ninety trains daily, including commuter services and freight transportation between major Irish cities.
Following the 2009 collapse, engineers installed steel piles to strengthen all piers and constructed new precast concrete spans within three months.
