Ha'penny Bridge

The Ha'penny Bridge is a cast-iron footbridge constructed in 1816 that spans the River Liffey. Its distinctive arch design and use of cast iron mark it as an important example of early 19th-century engineering and urban infrastructure. Originally, a halfpenny toll was charged for crossing, which gave the bridge its popular name. The bridge has become a well-known historical landmark and symbol of the city. It remains open to the public as a pedestrian crossing and cultural heritage site.
