O’Connell Street Bridge 1927 – Historic Dublin City View


O’Connell Street Bridge, spanning the River Liffey in the heart of Dublin, was completed in 1794 and was originally known as Carlisle Bridge. Designed by James Gandon, it replaced an earlier structure and was notable for being wider than it is long, aligning with Sackville Street (now O’Connell Street) to create a grand urban approach to the city’s main thoroughfare. In 1882–1884 the bridge was widened and rebuilt to accommodate increasing traffic, reflecting Dublin’s 19th-century growth. Renamed O’Connell Bridge in the late 19th century in honour of Daniel O’Connell
