St. Alphonsus Road Bridge was a bridge built in 1878 over a railway branch line in Dundalk, County Louth. It replaced a level crossing that had been in use since 1848. The bridge was demolished by WP Baldwin and Sons in 1998 to make way for a relief road to open up land to new retail developments.
The bridge was known locally as Redemptorist Hill, after the Redemptorist Monastery of St Joseph that was built next to the crossing in 1879.
