The Howth Road previously crossed at Ballybough Bridge, which was first built in 1308, washed away in a flood in 1313. The bridge built at Ballybough in 1488 was demolished in 1939 due to it being too narrow and humpbacked.

Famous quotes containing the word bridge:
“Oh, who will now be able to relate how Pantagruel behaved in face of these three hundred giants! Oh my muse, my Calliope, my Thalie, inspire me now, restore my spirits, because here is the ass’s bridge of logic, here is the pitfall, here is the difficulty of being able to describe the horrible battle undertaken.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
