Frank Sherwin Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Sherwin Bridge is a road bridge spanning the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland. It joins St. John's Road (and the south quays from Heuston Station) to Wolfetone Quay and Parkgate Street on the Northside.
Designed within Dublin Corporation's "Road Design Division", the bridge is a three-span reinforced concrete structure.
Frank Sherwin Bridge was opened in 1982 to remove traffic from the much older and narrower Sean Heuston Bridge as part of an extended traffic management project on Dublin's quays. (which reversed the existing one-way system).
The bridge was named for Dublin politician Frank Sherwin.
