James Joyce Bridge ([1]) is a road bridge spanning the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland, joining the south quays to Blackhall Place on the north side.
Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, it is a single-span structural steel design, 40 m (131 ft) long.[2] The deck is supported from two outward angled arches, the silhouette of which is sometimes compared to the shape of an open book.[3]
The bridge was built by Irishenco Construction, using pre-fabricated steel sections from Harland and Wolff of Belfast.[2]
The bridge is named for the famous Dublin author James Joyce (1882–1941), and was opened on 16 June 2003 (Bloomsday).[4] Joyce's short story "The Dead" is set in Number 15 Usher's Island,[5] the house facing the bridge on the south side.[6]
