Frank Sherwin Bridge, Road bridge near Heuston Station, Dublin, Ireland
The Frank Sherwin Bridge spans 50 meters across the River Liffey, connecting St John's Road to Wolfe Tone Quay with reinforced concrete construction.
The bridge opened in 1982 as part of Dublin Corporation's traffic management project to reduce congestion on the existing infrastructure near Heuston Station.
Named after Frank Sherwin, a Dublin politician who fought in the War of Independence and later advocated for improvements in the living conditions of Dublin residents.
The structure enables direct access between north and south Dublin quays, reversing the previous one-way system to create improved traffic flow in the area.
The bridge construction allowed weight restrictions to be lifted from Sean Heuston Bridge, permitting trucks and buses to use alternative routes across the Liffey.
