The Liffey Railway Bridge is a rail bridge spanning the River Liffey near Heuston railway station in Dublin in Ireland.
It is a wrought iron box truss structure, and joins lines from Heuston Station to Connolly Station through the Phoenix Park Tunnel.[1]
Historically used primarily for freight traffic, in November 2016, the bridge and tunnel were reopened to more regular passenger traffic.[2]
