Millennium Bridge

The Millennium Bridge spans 51 meters across the River Liffey, connecting Eustace Street in Temple Bar to the northern quays through a steel truss design.

Constructed and opened in December 1999, the bridge marked the approach of the new millennium while expanding Dublin's pedestrian infrastructure across the River Liffey.

The bridge stands between the Ha'penny Bridge and Grattan Bridge, forming part of a network of crossings that connects Dublin's social and entertainment districts.

The four-meter-wide steel structure provides a direct route between Temple Bar and the northern side of Dublin for pedestrians traversing the city center.

Local companies manufactured the bridge components in Carlow, with Banagher Concrete creating the abutments and Thompson Engineering producing the steel structure.
