Ballachulish Bridge
The Ballachulish Bridge is a bridge in the west highlands of Scotland.
It crosses the narrows between Loch Leven and Loch Linnhe, linking the villages of South Ballachulish (Argyll) and North Ballachulish (Inverness-shire). It carries the A82 road, the main route between Glasgow and Inverness.
The bridge was built by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company[1] and opened in 1975,[2] 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.
