Description

Michael Davitt-broen er en svingbro i County Mayo, Irland, der krydser fra Achill Island til fastlandet.

Planen for en bro, der skulle forbinde Achill Island med Corraun-halvøen, blev overvejet i de tidlige 1880'ere. En landmåler fra Mayo County udarbejdede planer, som blev godkendt af J. Price, en civilingeniør. Den officielle godkendelse blev modtaget fra The Board of Trade i London, og i 1883 blev der organiseret et administrativt organ til at finansiere det; de samlede omkostninger blev anslået til cirka £5.000. Omkostningerne oversteg estimaterne. Dog bidrog John Grey Vesey Porter fra County Fermanagh med sine egne midler, så broen kunne bygges som planlagt. Broens struktur bestod af en stålbue-girderkonstruktion med et spænd på 37 m, der drejede på en central pille. Vejbanen var 2,4 m i bredde. Den blev navngivet efter Michael Davitt, en irsk socialaktivist fra det 19. århundrede, Fenian og grundlægger af National Land League. Davitt åbnede officielt broen i 1887.
