Anna Livia Bridge, Stone bridge in Chapelizod, Ireland

Anna Livia Bridge is a stone crossing over the River Liffey at Chapelizod with four arches, two large ones in the center and two smaller ones on each side. It connects Chapelizod Road to Lucan Road and carries both vehicle traffic and pedestrian movement.

A bridge at this site is documented as early as the 14th century. The present four-arch stone structure dates from 1753, replacing that earlier crossing. It was strengthened in 1991, and in 2011 footbridges were added outside the parapets.

The bridge took its current name in 1982 to honor James Joyce's literary connections to this area, reflecting how the author featured Chapelizod in his writing. The name references a character from his work, connecting this crossing to Irish literary history.

The structure features elevated walkways added in 2011 to keep pedestrians safer at this increasingly busy crossing point. Foot and bicycle traffic should be timed with care, especially during peak hours.

The bridge was long recognized as an important crossing, with archaeological and historical records confirming its role as part of the local infrastructure for centuries. Today it remains an essential link between two neighborhoods and an example of Dublin's river infrastructure.
