The "Dowen Bridge" in Omagh, County Tyrone, refers to a bridge built as part of the Omagh Hospital Link Road Project, which was an enabling works package to provide access to a new hospital. This project included the installation of a significant number of load-bearing piles and sheet piling for bridge piers.
