Summary[edit]

Description

Drogheda is located close to the M1 (E1 Euro Route 1) (main Dublin - Belfast motorway). The Boyne River Bridge carries traffic from the M1, across the River Boyne, 3 km west of the town. It was opened on June 9, 2003 and is the longest cable stayed bridge in Ireland. Drogheda acquired rail links to Dublin in 1844, Navan in 1850 and Belfast in 1852. Passenger services between Drogheda and Navan were ended in 1958, however the line remains open for freight (Tara Mines/Platin Cement) traffic. In 1966 Drogheda station was renamed "McBride".

Drogheda railway station opened on 25 May 1844. Defined by its location as the last crossing point on the Boyne before it reaches the sea, Drogheda has seven bridges in its vicinity.


Over the next few months I plan to visit a number of towns and cities in Ireland. In May I will visit Belfast, Cork and Limerick.

Today the project kicked off with a visit to Drogheda.

If you are willing to suggest some suitable locations for me to photograph please contact me.
