Mizen Head Footbridge is located at the south westerly tip of Ireland. It spans 50m across a dramatic sea gorge. The original structure was built in 1909. It was considered to be the longest reinforced concrete bridge of its type on completion. The structure is a through arch comprising arch ribs supporting a pedestrian bridge deck. In 2010/11 the original structure was carefully removed and a new, replica structure in reinforced concrete was constructed. The successful completion of the project has preserved a landmark structure on the coast of Ireland for future generations to enjoy.
