The James Joyce Bridge crosses the River Liffey in Dublin, linking the south quays to Blackhall Place on the north side. Santiago Calatrava designed it. Irishenco Construction built it, using prefabricated steel sections from Harland and Wolff of Belfast. The article names no owner or client, no construction start and no style.
The bridge opened on June 16, 2003, Bloomsday. It is a single-span tied-arch bridge of steel and glass. Two outward-angled arches support the deck, which is 40 meters long and 30 meters wide according to the infobox. The arch silhouette is sometimes compared to an open book.
It carries road and pedestrian traffic. The Irish Times praised its considerable aesthetic merit. The article gives no hours.
