Monkstown Bridge, Monkstown Road, Monkstown, Co.Antrim

Shallow segmental single-span reinforced concrete bridge, originating c1931, carrying the Monkstown road over the Belfast to Antrim railway as part of the ‘Greenisland loop’ scheme. Bridge was refurbished and strengthened in the 1990s, resulting in a virtual rebuild. Smooth concrete walls and spandrels with a projecting plinth base to the parapet. Fluted concrete parapet wall (replacement), with smooth finish to the road and smooth concrete coping. Pair of full height concrete piers (also appear to be replacement) to either end with Art Deco style stepped detailing and a vertically fluted panel to the outward faces. Bitmac road surface and pair of bitmac footpaths with concrete kerbing.
