Boyne Viaduct, Droichead Átha

[PFX]

I would have put this in the infrastructure section only for the 'international' flavour. Can anyone help with the dimensions for the Boyne viaduct? All I can find is that the deck is 30m high.

Any further dimensions would be grately appreciated.

Some info of possible interest here though doesn't mention dimensions: http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=LH&regno=13620012

The library of the Irish Railway Record Society adjacent to Heuston (http://www.irrs.ie/)may have documentation as may the public library in Stockwell Street in Drogheda.

Will post any online material I come across.

Hello,

I checked Doyle & Hirsch's book, but no specific measurements there.

Qail has the bridge as between chainages 16.54 to 16.62, so at 8 chains that's 160 metres long.

Photo of the bridge here - it has seven arches.
