The bridge is located over the river on the site of the Irish National War Memorial Gardens (INWMG) at Islandbridge, Dublin.
The gardens were established in 1938 to commemorate the 49,400 Irish soldiers who lost their lives in World War I and are of significant historical, cultural, horticultural and architectural importance.
This Commemorative Bridge will include a dedicated cycle path and pedestrian route while creating a new formal entrance to the Gardens from the Chapelizod Road. The bridge will link the INWMG with Phoenix Park and improve access to key cultural attractions such as Kilmainham Gaol, the Royal Hospital Kilmainham and the Magazine Fort.
