The Millennium Bridge (Template:Langx)[1] is a pedestrian bridge spanning the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland, joining Eustace Street in Temple Bar to the north quays.

The bridge was installed in December 1999[2] to commemorate the approaching new millennium in 2000. It was prefabricated in Carlow, 80 km from Dublin, as a portal frame structure made up of a slender steel truss and resting on reinforced concrete haunches.[3]

The bridge was designed by Howley Harrington Architects, with Price & Myers as consulting engineers. The concrete base and steel structure for the bridge were provided by two firms from Carlow: Formwork 2000+ and Thompson Engineering respectively.[4][5]

The Millennium Bridge is a neighbour to the much older pedestrian Ha'penny Bridge to the east, and Grattan Bridge to the west. Bloom Lane is to the north.
