Boyne River Bridge, M1 motorway, Co.Meath/Louth
The Boyne River Bridge is Ireland’s longest cable-stayed bridge and is widely regarded as one of the most impressive feats of civil engineering in Ireland. Situated 3 kilometres west of Drogheda, the vast majority of the bridge including its central pylon and 56 cables are situated in County Meath, although the last few northern most cables partly stretch across the county boundary into County Louth. The bridge carries traffic from the M1, across the River Boyne, linking Dublin and Belfast. It was opened on June 9th 2003.
