Background
History
In 1829, a great flood swept away the existing bridge, built only a year earlier. The Earl of Aboyne had a new suspension bridge built in 1831. A new bridge to replace the suspension bridge at an estimated cost of £30,000 was approved by the Minister of Transport in April 1938. The bridge was closed to vehicular traffic on 10 November 2023 for structural inspections. Intrusive investigations found that the bridge was in a poor condition which resulted in an extended closure being announced later in the month. It is expected to remain closed for up to 18 months.
