Annesley Bridge, Road bridge in Fairview, Ireland

Annesley Bridge carries road traffic over the River Tolka in Fairview, north Dublin, on the site of a crossing opened in 1797 and rebuilt and widened in 1926. East Wall Road, North Strand Road and Poplar Row meet at its west end, Annesley Bridge Road at its east end. Cycle lanes run on both sides as part of the Clontarf to City Centre Project.

The original bridge was commissioned by Richard Annesley in 1792 and opened as a public crossing in 1797. The current structure resulted from a rebuild completed in 1926.

The bridge is named after Richard Annesley, 6th Earl of Anglesey, who began building it in 1792. A silver trowel given to him at the 1797 opening was later auctioned and displayed in the Dublin Civic Museum. Around 1880 the bridge marked the terminus of the horse trams, later replaced by trams running up Annesley Bridge Road towards Clontarf.

Pedestrians and vehicles can cross the River Tolka to reach neighborhoods on both sides of the waterway. The bridge is open daily and easily accessible from several main roads.

This crossing played a role in the 1916 Easter Rising, becoming a focal point during Ireland's independence struggle. Its location made it strategically important during those turbulent events.
