Railway bridge, King’s Road, Whitehead, Carrickfergus, Co Antrim, BT38, **See General Comments**

The railway bridge, now located on King’s Road, Whitehead, Carrickfergus, was built by the Belfast & Northern Counties Railway in 1907 as part of an extension platform north of Whitehead Station. Prior to the bridge’s construction, there was a level crossing at the site. The bridge was a skew twin-span structure, originally featuring metal girder spans that were replaced with pre-cast reinforced concrete beams in 1986-87. The original pier between the spans was also rebuilt in concrete during this period. Only the brick abutments and wing walls of the original bridge remain visible, with the wing walls finished with rusticated and margined granite blocks. The bridge has undergone significant alterations and demolition, resulting in a loss of industrial heritage significance. The bridge previously served as railway station structures.
