Ballachulish Bridge

1

The Ballachulish Bridge is a bridge in the West Highlands of Scotland. It crosses the narrows (Caolas Mhic Phadruig - Patrick's Narrows) between Loch Leven and Loch Linnhe, linking the villages of South Ballachulish (Argyll) and North Ballachulish (Inverness-shire). It carries the A82 road, which runs from Glasgow to Inverness Butts. The bridge was built by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company and opened in 1975, replacing the Ballachulish ferry. It is a two-lane road bridge of through steel truss construction with fabricated box chords. It was designed by W.A. Fairhurst and Partners of Newcastle upon Tyne. It is 964 feet long.
