What may have been the original 'new bridge' is marked on Herman Moll's map of 1728, about 300m upstream of the present bridge. Prior to that the Liffey was crossed in this locality at Greatconnell Ford (see above). Following flood damage in the 1780s, the duke of Leinster undertook the bridge's replacement. Difficulties were encountered with the foundations, so the new bridge of 5 arches was erected at the present site. In 1936 the Georgian bridge was superseded by the present threearch bridge.
