O'Connell Bridge, Road and tram bridge across River Liffey, Dublin, Ireland
The O'Connell Bridge spans 45 meters over the River Liffey, featuring granite construction and wide pavements for pedestrians crossing between Abbey Street and D'Olier Street.
Initially named Carlisle Bridge during its construction in 1791, the structure received its current name in recognition of Daniel O'Connell's efforts toward Catholic emancipation.
The bridge connects north and south Dublin, serving as a central meeting point where street performers entertain crowds near shops and restaurants.
Passengers can access multiple transportation options at the bridge, including Dublin's tram system, regular bus services, and walking paths along the riverbank.
The structure maintains similar architectural elements to the Custom House, both designed by James Gandon, displaying neoclassical features that define Dublin's Georgian period.
