Ha’penny Bridge, Dublin Overview
The Ha’penny Bridge is a pedestrian bridge on Bachelor’s Walk Street, North City. It arches over the Liffey River of Dublin and is one of the city's significant landmarks. It connects O’Connell Street to the famous Temple Bar, which hosts live Irish folk music and has many restaurants and pubs.
The bridge has no closing time, and crossing it is free of charge. Made of cast iron, it spans a length of 43mtrs and is 3mtrs wide. It was established in 1816 so people wouldn’t have to rely on passenger ferries to cross the river. A toll of penny ha’penny (1½) was levied at one point to cross the bridge; that is how the bridge got its name. The toll was later extracted in 1919.
