The Farmleigh Bridge ({{lang-ga|Droichead Farmleigh}}), also known as the Silver Bridge, Guinness Bridge or Strawberry Beds Bridge,[1] is a disused bridge spanning the River Liffey and the Lower Lucan Road in Dublin, Ireland.

A single-span cast iron box truss bridge,[1][2] with stone and masonry supports, it was built in the 1870s to carry water pipes and electricity lines from the mill race turbine to nearby Farmleigh house.[3] Privately built by the Guinness family, it was also used by staff who lived on the south side of the river (by Palmerstown) as a short-cut to the grand house.[4]

The bridge (near the Angler's Rest pub) is long disused, with no remaining base or platform to carry traffic. Though the elaborate stone gateway remains,[5] the tunnel is no longer accessible and has been collapsed.

As of late 2015, campaigners had initiated a petition for the bridge to be restored and used as part of a Liffey greenway plan.[6] However, as of mid-2016, no funding had been allocated by Fingal Council to renovation of the bridge.[7]
