Heritage listing
Category A Date Added 05/10/1971 Local Authority Highland Planning Authority Highland Parish Kilmonivaig NGR NN 18360 83824 Coordinates 218360, 783824 — Thomas Telford, c.1815. Tall 3-arched rubble bridge, the arch rings of differing spans and at irregular intervals. Tooled ashlar dressings. 5 columnar buttresses to each face, each buttress decorated with single blind vertical and cruciform arrow slits. Splayed approaches. — Bridge spans present line of River Lochy, re-cut and re-aligned in early 19th century, a remarkable project undertaken in order that the original bed could accommodate the Caledonian Canal between lighthouse and westermost lock, thus maintaining a straight course. (This section of canal still marks the parish boundary with Kilmallie, formerly defined by the river). Banks of river flanking bridge are retained by rubble abutments. Some further walling necessitated by modern Hydro Electric station at Mucomir.
