    Wikipedia: The bridge was built in 1851 and took 18 months to complete. It is 542 feet (165 m) long. Designed and built by G.W. Hemans, it features a central span that can be opened to accommodate large sailing vessels. The ironworks were shipped to Limerick and then transported by barge to Athlone. The twelve cylindrical piers each have a diameter of 3.0 m. The central span of the opening is 37 m (120 feet), but this was changed to a fixed section in 1972. The bridge is listed in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage under number 15004129.
