The Ballyskeagh High Bridge (3 of 8)

See J2866 : The Ballyskeagh High Bridge (2 of 8). The Ballyskeagh Road is part of the back road from Belfast to Lisburn. This is the High Bridge (looking towards Lisburn) seen from road level. It is narrow and can be busy at peak times. The closed steps J2866 : The Ballyskeagh High Bridge (6 of 8) to the towpath are at the lower left. Continue to J2866 : The Ballyskeagh High Bridge (4 of 8).

The Ballyskeagh High Bridge, Drumbeg/Lambeg

A two-arch bridge, built about 1760 of local sandstone, carrying the Ballyskeagh Road (from Drumbeg to Lambeg) across the towpath and disused Lagan canal. The road is much higher than the canal – an interesting challenge for a civil engineer 250 years ago. The bridge is narrow and now has a separate footbridge on the northern side. There is no direct access from the bridge to the towpath. Pedestrians and cyclists use the entrance to McIlroy Park on the Belfast side of the bridge.
