Farmleigh Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Farmleigh Bridge (Irish: Droichead Farmleigh) is a privately-owned disused bridge spanning the River Liffey and the Lower Lucan Road in Dublin, Ireland.
A single span steel box truss bridge, with stone and masonry supports, it was built to carry electricity lines from the mill race turbine to nearby Farmleigh house, and was used by staff who lived on south side of river (by Palmerstown) as a short-cut to the grand house.
The bridge (near the Angler's rest pub) is long disused, and somewhat dilapidated, though the elaborate stone gateway and tunnel remain.
Recently (April 2007), structures resembling hand rails have been erected within the bridge superstructure, although no base is present.
