The National Inventory dates the bridge to about 1775 and records three segmental arches, rubble limestone parapets and cutwaters on the downstream side.
The middle arch has different stone dressing from the side arches. It is the kind of small construction detail that reveals the care taken over a practical bridge.
The waterway is a tributary of the Inny, which ties Legan’s rural road network into the larger river landscape of south Longford.
There is no marked sightseeing platform here. The bridge remains in road use, so take any photographs only from a safe lawful place and keep clear of the carriageway.
Legan Bridge still carries a public road. There is no dedicated viewing platform; only stop or photograph it from a safe lawful position away from traffic.
