Braddan Bridge
Braddan Bridge, known as Naomh Breandán (Saint Brendan of Clonfert), spans the river Dhoo on the Douglas to Peel road. It is a notable landmark on the Isle of Man TT road-race course, situated near the outskirts of Douglas town. Motorcycles slow down while navigating a left-right 'S' bend over the bridge during races. The area around the bridge includes traditional viewing spots with seating and is close to the Ferry Terminal, accessible by foot.
The bridge lies on the boundary between Braddan and Onchan parishes, located between the 1st and 2nd Milestone road-side markers on the Snaefell Mountain Course. It connects the A1 Douglas to Peel road and the A23. A stretch of former railway line from Braddan Bridge halt to Quarterbridge serves as an access road for motor traffic during races when the main road is closed.
Braddan Halt, part of the Isle of Man Railway's first line to Peel, saw limited use mainly for church services at nearby Kirk Braddan. Special train services were operated for these events. In 1963, the Queen Mother visited the area using a royal coach, which is now preserved in a museum.
After the railway closed in September 1968, the station's booking office and waiting shelter were removed and relocated to Colby station on the south line. A modern shelter was built at Braddan Bridge in 1989 but later removed. Today, no evidence of the railway remains except for a section of rail used as fencing on the bridge's western side.
