Butt Bridge, Road bridge in Dublin, Ireland
The Butt Bridge extends across the River Liffey, linking Georges Quay to Beresford Place and the north quays at Liberty Hall in central Dublin.
The original structure from 1879 was a steel swing bridge designed by Bindon Blood Stoney, named after Isaac Butt, leader of the Home Rule movement.
The bridge's Irish name, Droichead na Comhdhála, reflects the Eucharistic Congress held in Dublin during its reconstruction in 1932.
The reinforced concrete structure measures 65 meters in length and 20 meters in width, accommodating both vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the Liffey.
This bridge marked the first implementation of cantilevered and counterweight construction using reinforced concrete in Britain and Ireland.
