Lifford Bridge, Cross-border bridge between Lifford, Ireland and Strabane, Northern Ireland
The 140-meter bridge spans across the River Foyle, connecting County Donegal in Ireland with County Tyrone in Northern Ireland through the A38 and N15 roads.
Constructed in 1964 by Farrans engineering company, the bridge replaced an earlier structure and received joint funding from Donegal County Council and Tyrone County Council.
The bridge stands as a physical connection between communities of both jurisdictions, facilitating daily interactions and strengthening cross-border relationships between residents.
The structure accommodates both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, serving approximately 16,000 vehicles daily and providing essential access between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
In the 19th century, juries unable to reach unanimous verdicts were traditionally dismissed at the middle point of Lifford Bridge, marking the county boundary.
