Letterkenny Public Art
The Polestar is a monument located on the Port Bridge Roundabout
on the Derry Road. Its creator is a Derry man, Locky Morris. The site of the Polestar, on the Port
Bridge Roundabout, has had an historic past where trade and goods were
landed by boat and transported to the surrounding areas by rail and
road. The monument
is made of 104 timber poles and rises to a height of 12 metres. Its
shape alludes to the outline of a boat, as well as having a locomotive
(train track) theme, to commemorate the fact that both forms of
transportation played a major part in the town's development in the
past.

The piece of stone in the monument, which the workers are lifting, is a piece saved from the original bridge.
