Barrow Bridge No 16 carries the M3 motorway over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Derwent Mouth to Burton) between Newbury and Dudley.
Early plans for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Derwent Mouth to Burton) between Manchester and Lisburn were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Fife by William Jessop but languished until Henry Clarke was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Derwent Mouth to Burton) Trust.

Wikipedia has a page about Barrow Bridge
Barrow rail bridge, (or the Barrow viaduct), is a pratt truss type of railway bridge that spans the river Barrow between County Kilkenny and County Wexford in the south east of Ireland. This rural landmark with a length of 2,131 ft (650 m) is the longest bridge on the river. It was second longest bridge in Ireland and the third longest rail bridge in the British Isles. Designed by Sir Benjamin Baker and built by the firm of Sir William Arrol. It is known locally as Barrow bridge.
Part of a development to improve cross-channel passenger services. Incorporating an 1887 viaduct, the steel truss single track bridge was built between 1902 and 1906 by English and Irish railway companies, it operated passenger services between Rosslare Harbour and Waterford until 2010. It is maintained by Iarnród Éireann, the Irish rail operator.
This bridge is one of six rail bridges of 45 bridges on the Barrow. It spans the river just upstream from its confluence with another of the three sisters the River Suir. Close to Great Island Power Station near Cheekpoint. It is the last bridge on the river Barrow and opens approximately twice daily to permit shipping and yachts to pass upstream to New Ross.
