Inniscarra’s Historic Stone Bridge

This is the narrow bridge that crosses the River Lee near the Ballincollig Royal Gunpowder Mills.

I found out today while doing a little research that the bridge was built in 1805, replacing an older 6 arch bridge. It’s very narrow, but a survey showed that 7,000 cars cross it every day!

I've had an interest in bridges since childhood. This is a fascinating talk about masonry arched bridges, starting with a history of the development of theory about designing them and moving on to touch apon modern assessments of the condition of bridges. The speaker, Hamish Harvey also posts a near-monthly blog "Bridge of the Month" which is well worth a look.
