Wexford Bridge, Road bridge in County Wexford, Ireland.
The steel and concrete structure extends 380 meters across the River Slaney, connecting Wexford town to Ferrybank with seven spans.
Engineer Lemuel Cox constructed the first wooden bridge in 1795, replacing ferry services that operated between Wexford and Enniscorthy for centuries.
The bridge earned historical recognition during the 1798 Irish Rebellion when it became a location for executions of both loyalists and rebels.
The current bridge, built in 1997, carries the R741 road with a 12-meter width and includes pedestrian paths on both sides.
The structure underwent complete reconstruction in 1997, requiring only ten weeks to replace the entire superstructure while maintaining the original piers.
