Description

This single-arch brick and stone bridge carries a single-lane minor road over the double-track Lisburn-Lurgan section of the Belfast-Dublin railway, just north of the Lisburn – Moira road. The line runs along a deep cutting at this point. The abutments are of squared random rubble blackstone brought to courses with stepped vee-jointed ashlar sandstone quoins. A chamfered ashlar sandstone string course also runs around the quoins and through the arch at spring level. The arch is of semi-elliptical profile, with vee-jointed ashlar sandstone voussoirs. The soffit is of brick. The spandrels are of random roughly-faced blackstone blocks. There is a tapered advanced buttress to each side, detailed as the spandrels (the quoins of which are undifferentiated). The buttresses extend up to the tops of the parapets and have shallow pyramidal sandstone caps (both of which are missing at north end). The parapets are of random rubble blackstone with finely dressed sandstone copings and out-projecting terminal piers. A chamfered ashlar sandstone string course runs along the base of each parapet and around the buttress extensions and terminal piers. A metal plaque on the NW abutment notes that this is bridge no.273.
