Rosie Hackett Bridge

The Rosie Hackett Bridge is a modern pedestrian and traffic bridge crossing the River Liffey in central Dublin. The structure has separate zones for different transport modes and features distinctive stainless steel design elements integrated into its surfaces.

The bridge was built between 2012 and 2014 as part of Dublin's efforts to modernize its transport infrastructure. It was designed to accommodate buses, taxis, bicycles, and a planned light rail system.

The bridge carries the name of Rosie Hackett, a labor activist who fought for workers' rights in early 20th century Dublin. Her legacy represents the struggle for fair treatment in Irish factories and workplaces.

The bridge is easy to cross on foot, with sturdy pathways and railings on both sides to guide pedestrians safely. Visitors will find it busiest during daytime hours, so early morning or evening offers a quieter experience.

The bridge surface features curved stainless steel strips embedded in granite that flow seamlessly into the railings and handrails. This continuous pattern creates a unified visual design that distinguishes it from typical city crossings.
