WATERGATE BRIDGE

This bridge spans 35m and comprises tapering pentagonal arch chord sections with pairs of Macalloy hanger bars connecting to Universal Beam tie members. Universal Column transverse members and end diaphragms support a 225mm reinforced concrete deck which acts compositely with superstructure steelwork.

This bridge replaced a previous composite multi-span structure that had a weight restriction and was in a bad state of repair. A clear-span replacement structure was required in order to eliminate the regular upstream flooding problems caused by the three wide piers and deck superstructure of the existing structure. The result for the client Meath County Council is a landmark modern structure that complements the heritage of the town and its surroundings.
