There is a concrete parapet on each side. It’s length is 335 feet plus 130 feet of approaches. Each pier is formed on 10 piles. The surface of the piers is well finished with broad marked formwork. . The bridge is located almost where the river Roe enters Lough Foyle and is approached from the south by an embankment while the ground on the northern bank is higher without embankment.
