Barrow Bridge, Railway bridge in County Kilkenny, Ireland.
The Barrow Bridge extends across the River Barrow with thirteen main spans supported by twin cast iron piers reaching 26 feet above water level.
The construction of this railway bridge occurred between 1902 and 1906 under the supervision of architect Sir Benjamin Baker, known for designing the Forth Rail Bridge.
The bridge represents a cornerstone of Irish railway infrastructure, connecting communities between County Kilkenny and County Wexford through passenger and freight services.
The bridge contains an electric control mechanism that allows one span to pivot open for maritime traffic, operating approximately twice each day.
With a length of 2,131 feet, this structure held the distinction of being the second longest bridge in Ireland and third longest rail bridge in the British Isles.
