Seán Heuston Bridge, Cast iron bridge near Heuston Station in Dublin, Ireland

Seán Heuston Bridge spans the River Liffey with a single arch design measuring 30 meters in length and 9 meters in width.

The bridge opened in 1829 to commemorate King George IV's visit, with construction costing £13,000 by Phoenix Iron Works of Dublin.

The bridge structure displays royal motifs, including Prince of Wales feathers and crowned wreaths embedded within the decorative iron panels.

Following renovations in 2003, the bridge now serves as a dedicated pathway for the LUAS tram system and pedestrian traffic.

The foundation stone placement involved a ceremonial trowel decorated with rubies and emeralds, marking the start of construction in 1827.
