Background
Architecture
The bridge is a five-arch stone bridge, with each arch having a width of 50 ft and a rise of 10 ft. The arches are dressed with Newry granite. The bridge deck originally had a width of 30 ft. This was widened in 1885 to 62 ft by the addition of cantilevered segments on either side. 16 ornate gas lamps (now electric) were also added. They carry their maker's name ("Gregg, Sons & Phenix/ Iron Founders/ Belfast") and Belfast Corporation's coat of arms on their pedestals.
