Previously used for road traffic, the bridge now carries pedestrian and Luas (tram) traffic. HistoryOriginsOriginally designed by George Papworth[3] to carry horsedrawn traffic, the foundation stone was laid on 12 December 1827. The iron castings for the bridge were produced at the Royal Phoenix Iron Works in nearby Parkgate Street.[4] (The foundry which also produced the parapets for the upstream Lucan Bridge). Construction completed in 1828, and the bridge was opened with the name Kings Bridge to commemorate a visit by King George IV in 1821.[5] The bridge has an overall width of just under 9 meters.[4] RenamingsIn 1923 the bridge was renamed as Sarsfield Bridge after Patrick Sarsfield, and in 1941 it was again renamed as the Seán Heuston Bridge for Seán Heuston, who was executed for his part in the 1916 Easter Rising.[5] LuasAfter the Frank Sherwin Bridge was opened nearby in the 1980s, Seán Heuston Bridge was no longer used to carry road traffic.[3] It was restored in 2003 and now carries Luas tram traffic on the red line.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.logainm.ie/en/1167153 | publisher= Logainm.ie - Database of Placenames' Commission| title= Droichead Seán Heuston / Sean Heuston Bridge}} 2. ^{{Structurae|id=20005739|title=Seán Heuston Bridge}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url= http://ireland.archiseek.com/buildings_ireland/dublin/bridges/heuston.html |publisher= Archiseek | title= Heuston Bridge Dublin | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20071215173329/http://ireland.archiseek.com/buildings_ireland/dublin/bridges/heuston.html | archivedate= 15 December 2007 }} 4. ^1 {{cite book | last = Cox | first = Ronald C. |author2=Gould, M.H. | title = Civil Engineering Heritage : Ireland | publisher = Thomas Telford | year = 1998 | isbn = 0-7277-2627-7 | page = 47 }} 5. ^1 2 {{cite report|url= http://www.berthamilton.com/13329.pdf | title= Project history of Dublin's River Liffey bridges| work= Bridge Engineering 156 Issue BE4 | publisher= Phillips & Hamilton}} 6. ^{{cite report|url= http://www.transport.ie/upload/general/2564.pdf | title= Sixth report of the Light Rail Advisory & Action Group to the Minister for Public Enterprise | date= 2002 | publisher= Department of Transport | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20071021082758/http://www.transport.ie/upload/general/2564.pdf | archivedate= 21 October 2007 }} External links
