Summary

[edit]
Description

Seán Heuston Bridge is a cast iron bridge spanning the River Liffey beside Heuston Station, Dublin. Originally designed by George Papworth to carry horsedrawn traffic, it was constructed in 1828 and named Kings Bridge to commemorate a visit by King George IV in 1821. In 1923 it was renamed Sarsfield Bridge, and in 1941 it was again renamed as the Seán Heuston Bridge for Seán Heuston, who was executed for his part in the 1916 Easter Rising.

The bridge was restored in 2003 and now carries Luas tram traffic on the red line.

The bridge and adjacent train station are still commonly referred to by older Dubliners as "Kings Bridge" and "Kings Bridge Station" respectively
