Ringsend Bridge, Stone bridge in Dublin, Ireland
Description
Ringsend Bridge is a stone bridge crossing the River Dodder in Dublin, featuring a single elliptical arch with robust walls on either side. The structure carries traffic across the waterway using a straightforward design built entirely from stone.
History
The current bridge was built between 1803 and 1812 to replace several earlier structures destroyed by floods. A particularly severe flood in 1802 prompted the construction of this more durable design.
Culture
The bridge received its initial name, Charlotte Bridge, in honor of Princess Charlotte, daughter of the Prince Regent during the early nineteenth century.
Practical
The bridge serves as part of a main road and accommodates both vehicle traffic and foot traffic crossing the river. It offers free public access and can be explored on foot from nearby roads and paths.
