WILLIAM DARGAN BRIDGE AUGUST 2023

24/08/2023

Today I got the 17 bus from Roebuck road to Dundrum and in my opinion it is the most unreliable bus service that I have encountered. I had to wait about 45 minutes for a bus that is supposed to have a frequency of 20 minutes and this was not an isolated incident.

William Dargan Bridge, opened in 2004, is a cable-stayed bridge in Dundrum, Dublin in Ireland. It carries the Luas light rail line (Green Line) across a busy road junction. The bridge connects rail alignments which were formerly part of the Harcourt Street railway line.

The bridge crosses the R112 and R117 regional roads as well as the little-known Slang River.

The name commemorates William Dargan who was involved in bringing railways to many parts of Ireland. At the time of opening the Bridge was the only part of the old Harcourt line that had not been built by Dargan.[citation needed]

It should be noted that there is also a Dargan Bridge in Belfast which I have also photographed.
