Thomond Bridge

Historic bridge edit

The earliest bridge, was built near a fording point.[1] It was the scene of a failed defence of the city during the Siege of Limerick. The old Thomond bridge was located at the same location as the current bridge,[2][3] near King John's Castle.[4] The Treaty Stone was placed near there.

Current bridge edit

The current bridge was built from 1836 to 1836,[5] replacing the earlier bridge.[6] The bridge now forms part of the R445 (formerly N7), carrying traffic on the Northern Relief Road.[7]
