The Harry Blaney Bridge is not only an engineering feat but also one of the most spectacular viewpoints along the Wild Atlantic Way. This 340-meter-long bridge was opened in 2009 and replaced a ferry connection that had been out of service since the 1960s. As you cross Mulroy Bay, you will enjoy a sweeping panorama of the bay, the surrounding islands, and the distant mountains of Donegal. For cyclists and walkers, it is an absolute must to stop at the official viewpoint on the north side (Fanad side) for the best photo opportunities.

Opened in May 2009, the bridge was constructed to reduce the travel time between the peninsulas of Fanad and Rossguill. The two peninsulas were previously connected by a ferry service, but this halted in the mid 1960s.
