The first bridge built across the River Foyle was a wooden structure erected in 1789-91. The structure allowed for a drawbridge as the inhabitants of Strabane had navigational rights to the river. It was built between Bridge Street and Fountain Hill. The second bridge was a steel structure built in 1863 a little further upstream near the site of todays Craigavon Bridge. This was completed in 1933 and the two tier structure allows the lower deck to carry goods on rail tracks between the city's railway stations. The lower deck has been converted for road usage now and both decks of the bridge carry a heavy flow of traffic to and from the city. Location : Carllisile Square to Duke Street Craigavons's two large artificial lakes are used for water sports and trout fishing.
