Ringsend Bridge, Stone bridge in Dublin, Ireland

Ringsend Bridge is a single elliptical stone arch over the River Dodder, built by Dublin Corporation between 1803 and 1812. Its spandrel walls are built as extensions of the voussoirs, and the bridge has cornes de vache in the French style. It carries the R802 regional road along Bridge Street.

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.

The bridge received its initial name, Charlotte Bridge, in honor of Princess Charlotte, daughter of the Prince Regent during the early nineteenth century.

Ringsend Bridge carries the R802 regional road along Bridge Street over the River Dodder, so expect vehicle traffic alongside pedestrians. Walkers cross on the roadway edge rather than a separate footway, and the single elliptical arch can be viewed from the banks on either side.

The bridge's spandrel walls are built as extensions of the voussoirs, and it has cornes de vache in the French style. It was designed and built by Dublin Corporation, and its original name, Charlotte Bridge, honoured Princess Charlotte, daughter of the Prince Regent.
