The first bridge over the river Foyle was a wooden one built in 1790. It was assembled in America and transported to Derry to be positioned in the bridge street area some 90 metres north of the present bridge. |
Derry's fourth (and Irelands second longest) bridge, the award winning Foyle Bridge, was officially opened in october 1984. For the first time in it's history, Derry has two bridges spanning the Foyle. |
