Corick Bridge, over River Roe, Corick Road, Dungiven, Co Londonderry

Corick Bridge is a late 18th-century, four-arch sandstone bridge crossing the River Roe on the former Dungiven to Maghera road, now known as Corick Road. It is situated in a handsome location in the upper Roe valley, where the road enters the Glenshane Pass. The bridge is of random rubble sandstone construction, with segmental arches of approximately 5.5-metre span. The arches are lined with thin, deep rubble voissoirs and spring from wide, random rubble supports without a string course, terminating upstream and downstream with triangular breakwaters topped with pyramids. The bases of the supporting walls are strengthened with concrete aprons, and the abutments extend considerably beyond the arches. The soffits of the arches are also in random rubble, and each arch is reinforced with two strengthening tie rods and square, flat patress plates. The carriageway between the parapet walls is approximately 6 metres wide, and the road dips down towards the bridge on both sides. The parapet walls extend for approximately 43 metres on each side and are finished with a cement coping. Some of the rubble walling is roughly squared. Typically, water flows through three of the arches. A laneway leads from the county road to the river’s edge on the eastern end, upstream and beyond the parapet wall. The bridge's alignment is shown on an 1832 Ordnance Survey map and contemporary maps. The bridge likely dates from the late 18th century and is well preserved; it demonstrates industrial archaeological interest and is considered to have group value alongside the adjoining Tamniarin bridge.
