River Suir Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Waterford and County Kilkenny, Ireland
The River Suir Bridge extends 475 meters across the river with a main span of 230 meters supported by cables from a 112-meter tower.
The bridge construction in 2009 led to the discovery of a Viking settlement at Woodstown, requiring modifications to preserve the archaeological site.
The bridge received the name Thomas Francis Meagher Bridge in 2015, commemorating the Irish nationalist leader from the Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848.
The structure carries four lanes of the N25 road, with toll fees ranging from 1.10 euros for motorcycles to 6.80 euros for large trucks.
The bridge maintained the record for the longest single span in the Republic of Ireland until the completion of the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge.
