Thomond Bridge
Bridge in Limerick, County Limerick, Ireland
Thomond Bridge is the name of a former and current bridge over the river Shannon in Limerick city.
Historic bridge
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
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]
