Sean Heuston Bridge
Sean Heuston Bridge carries a footpath over the River Liffey near to Falkirk Embankment.
The River Liffey was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1816. In Barry Smith's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Castlecorn Locks during the General Strike.

There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Sean Heuston Bridge
Seán Heuston Bridge (Irish: Droichead Seán Heuston) is a cast-iron bridge spanning the River Liffey beside Heuston Station, Dublin. It was previously named King's Bridge and Sarsfield Bridge - and the bridge and adjacent train station are still commonly referred to by older Dubliners as "Kings Bridge" and "Kings Bridge Station" respectively. Previously used for road traffic, the bridge now carries pedestrian and Luas (tram) traffic.
