Some photographs of and from Shaw’s Bridge, Belfast.
There are two bridges, both called “Shaw’s Bridge” across the River Lagan on the Malone Road/Milltown Road. The first was built in about 1707 and was in use as a road bridge until 1977 when replaced, for motor vehicles, by a concrete structure of four lanes forming part of the Belfast outer ring road. The old bridge remains but restricted to pedestrians and bicycles.
