SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE 16/05/2009

In May 2009, the Samuel Beckett Bridge completed its 628-mile journey from Rotterdam to Dublin. Transported as a single 2,500-tonne assembly on a sea-going barge, the Santiago Calatrava-designed structure was installed using tidal synchronisation and specialised crawler cranes, marking a pivotal moment in Dublin's Docklands regeneration.
