About
The Ha'penny Bridge is a celebrated 19‑century cast‑iron arch spanning Dublin’s River Liffey. Opened in May 1816, it was originally a toll bridge that charged a half‑penny fare for 100 years. Today it stands as an iconic pedestrian thoroughfare, offering sweeping views of the Custom House and the city’s Georgian waterfront.
