Summary[edit]

| Description |
A super bridge - apparently the second largest single-span in Europe when opened in 1903 (RCAHMS). Beaten as a cantilever only by the Forth Bridge - the span was necessitated by the Falls of Lora. It was built as a railway bridge for the Ballachulish branch railway of the Callander & Oban (my grandmother recalls crossing the bridge on the train from Ballachulish to school in Oban). It also earned its keep for the railway company carrying vehicular traffic over on trains, before being altered to incorporate a narrow carriageway in 1913. After closure of the branch in 1966 it was converted fully to a road bridge. It now has space for a footpath, enabling pedestrians to get photographs, and the one-way traffic control also gives nice long gaps to stand in the middle, too ;-) |
