Location

The Liffey Railway Bridge is a rail bridge spanning the River Liffey near Heuston railway station in Dublin in Ireland.

It is a wrought iron box truss structure, and joins lines from Heuston Station to Connolly Station through the Phoenix Park Tunnel.

Historically used primarily for freight traffic, in November 2016, the bridge and tunnel were reopened to more regular passenger traffic.
