The Brittania bridge is amazing, its a pitty the rail users and the people in their cars cant see those lions anymore. Or aprciate how much a nod the bridge was to eygptian architecture. One other thing that came to mind with replacing the viaduct would be supper strong plastics or silicon. But most likely it'd be carbon or steel yet again.

The height of the bridge only matters now because of the valley, theres no tall masted ships of the royal merchant navy sailing under it anymore, and the port isnt that important. That and with the world temp set to increase, its the only water front building likely to not need flood protection in Drogeda.
