About Craigavon Bridge

Craigavon Bridge is the oldest of Derry's 3 bridges. This is the third bridge to be built at this location over the mighty River Foyle. It is one of only a few double-decker road bridges in Europe. It was named after Lord Craigavon, the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland. The present bridge was designed by the City Architect, Matthew A Robinson. A pair of bronze statues forming a sculpture entitled Hands Across the Divide are situated at the west end of Craigavon Bridge.
