Salmon Weir Bridge sits along the Wild Atlantic Way at an elevation of 16 feet, with the land dropping 12 feet over the next 600 meters. The bridge spans the River Corrib in Galway City and is listed on the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Galway City Council. From the bridge, Wildflower Meadow is visible to the north-northeast, 0.5 miles away at 19 feet elevation, and Laurel Park lies to the northwest, 0.9 miles distant at 70 feet. Daylight hours shift through the year: sunrise comes at 05:09 and sunset at 22:08 around the June solstice, while the December solstice brings sunrise at 08:50 and sunset at 16:20. Equinox daylight falls between these extremes, with March sunrise at 06:40 and sunset at 18:49, and September sunrise at 07:22 and sunset at 19:37. The route continues from Bird Sanctuary before this stop and on to Murrooghtoohy afterward.
