The Loopline Bridge (or the Liffey Viaduct) is a railway bridge spanning the River Liffey and several streets in Dublin, Ireland. It joins rail services from south of Dublin to Connolly Station and lines north. Designed by John Chaloner Smith (engineer to the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway), the bridge was built between 1889 and 1891. It consists of wrought iron lattice girders on a double row of piers with five spans. The viaduct is approximately six metres above street level and supports two railway tracks. — James Joyce, Ulysses

  • The Loopline Bridge (or the Liffey Viaduct) is a railway bridge spanning the River Liffey and several streets in Dublin, Ireland. It joins rail services from south of Dublin to Connolly Station and lines north. Designed by John Chaloner Smith (engineer to the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway), the bridge was built between 1889 and 1891. It consists of wrought iron lattice girders on a double row of piers with five spans. The viaduct is approximately six metres above street level and supports two railway tracks. During original planning and construction (in the late 19th century) the project was subject to much opposition and controversy, because the structure blocks the view down river to The Custom House. However, the bridge was deemed necessary as a rail link between north and south Dublin, and to facilitate the movement of transatlantic mail coming from Kingstown (Dún Laoghaire) and Queenstown (Cobh). 100 years later, the visage of the bridge remains the subject of some debate. Already arguably less attractive than some of Dublin's other bridges, the façades of the Loopline have been used by Iarnród Éireann for billboard advertising. As of 2006, the company has scaled back the bridge's use for this purpose to reduce impact on the city skyline, following input from An Bord Pleanála and Dublin City Council. A prominent feature in the city landscape since 1891, the Loopline Bridge appears in one of the most famous literary works associated with Dublin: A skiff, a crumpled throwaway, Elijah is coming, rode lightly down the Liffey, under Loopline bridge, shooting the rapids where water chafed around the bridgepiers, sailing eastward past hulls and anchorchains, between the Customhouse old dock and George’s quay. — James Joyce, Ulysses (en)

  • Il ponte Loopline (Loopline Bridge in inglese e Droichead na Lúblíne in gaelico), completato nel 1891 su progetto dell'ingegnere John Chaloner Smith, è un ponte ferroviario che attraversa il fiume Liffey e alcune strade di Dublino, capitale della Repubblica d'Irlanda. È un ponte ferroviario di grande importanza poiché collega parecchie linee ferroviarie a sud di Dublino alla stazione di Connolly e alle linee settentrionali. Disegnato da John Chaloner Smith (ingegnere a Dublino, noto per i lavori della linea Wexford-Wicklow), il ponte fu costruito nel 1891. È costituito da travi reticolari in ferro battuto su una doppia fila di pilastri con cinque campate. Il viadotto è di circa sei metri sopra il livello della strada e supporta due binari ferroviari.
