Talbot Memorial Bridge

The Talbot Memorial Bridge extends 75 meters across the River Liffey, connecting Custom House Quay with City Quay through three concrete spans.

Construction of the bridge began in April 1976, marking the first new crossing over the River Liffey in Dublin since the reconstruction of Butt Bridge in 1932.

The bridge bears the name of Matt Talbot, who transformed from alcoholism to spiritual dedication, becoming an inspiration for Dublin residents in the early 1900s.

The four-lane structure serves both vehicles and pedestrians, providing a direct route between the northern and southern sections of Dublin's commercial district.

This bridge marks the final upstream point where tall ships can navigate the River Liffey, as all bridges beyond feature fixed spans.
