  1. I enjoyed that! I’ve never seen it go up before. It used to terrify me as a child that we’d get stuck on it any time we drove over. And now I know it is kind of terrifying because it’s so fast!

  2. Oh nice clip. That’s one thing I never mind being stuck in traffic for. I know nothing about bridges except that I love them. Used to see a lot of great lifts in the Netherlands when living there.

  3. Very uplifting video OP, exactly what I needed. Thanks.

  4. I actually thought I’d see someone try to jump it with a motorbike.

  5. After just seeing a load of footage of bridges collapsing in China, this is pretty boring in comparison

  6. All very uplifting (pun intended??), but is no one else horrified by that awful pot hole! It just needs someone to paint on comic glasses and a big smile!

  7. Did they ever find the key to open the Samuel Beckett bridge or was it just a joke that i was lost?

  8. In my 38 years on this planet, I have not once seen this bridge lift in person. I’ve only ever seen videos of it.
    I’ve lived in Dublin my whole life too.

  9. I was expecting an old Mount Prospect cop car to come flying over the top of that.
