Dargan Bridge, Belfast, Railway bridge in Belfast, United Kingdom

The Dargan Bridge stretches across the River Lagan with a concrete viaduct design extending 4,675 feet in length and contains a single-track railway line with a passing loop.

The bridge opened on November 28, 1994, and received its official inauguration by Elizabeth II on March 9, 1995, following multiple construction delays since its proposal in 1978.

The bridge received its name from William Dargan, an Irish railway engineer who made substantial contributions to the development of transportation infrastructure in the region.

The structure connects the Newry and Bangor railway lines with routes to Larne and Derry, making it essential for passenger transportation across Northern Ireland.

The Dargan Bridge holds the distinction of being the longest bridge structure on the island of Ireland, measuring 1,425 meters from end to end.
