Black Isle bridges

26th June 2004

The bridges that carry the A9 at each end are a great contrast to each other. The Kessock bridge spans a navigational channel, so has a wide, high span, supported by cables. The Cromarty Firth bridge does not need to allow vessels underneath, and the water is shallow, enabling a long, low bridge supported by many piers.
