O'Donovan Rossa Bridge
O'Donovan Rossa Bridge ()〔(Logainm.ie - Database of Placenames' Commission )〕 is a road bridge spanning the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland and joining Winetavern Street to Chancery Place (at the Four Courts) and the north quays.
Replacing a short lived wooden structure, the original masonry bridge on this site was built in 1684 as a five-span simple arch bridge, and named ''Ormonde Bridge''.〔("Project history of Dublin’s River Liffey bridges" Bridge Engineering 156 Issue BE4, Phillips & Hamilton )〕 In December 1802 this bridge was swept away during a severe storm.
In 1813 construction started on a replacement bridge — the current structure — a little further west to the designs of James Savage and was opened in 1816. It consists of three elliptical arch spans in granite, with sculptured heads, similar to those on O'Connell Bridge, on the keystones. The heads represent ''Plenty'', the ''Liffey'', and ''Industry'' on one side, with ''Commerce'', ''Hibernia'' and ''Peace'' on the other. The balustrades are of cast-iron.
Opened as ''Richmond Bridge'' (for the Duke of Richmond Lord Lieutenant of Ireland), it was renamed in 1923 for Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa by the fledgeling Free State.〔(Archiseek - O'Donovan Rossa Bridge entry )〕
