Criche Bridge opens to traffic along the A830

Criche Bridge is now fully open following ten months of construction
Criche Bridge is now fully open following ten months of construction

The newly built Criche Bridge has opened to traffic along the A830 after 10 months of construction.

Located approximately eight miles west of Glenfinnan, the bridge is the sixth structure to be replaced on the route in the past four years.

This follows on from works completed at Dearg Bridge in December 2014, Utha and Garbh Bridges at the end of 2015 and also Arieniskill and Ranochan Bridges in early 2017.

A disused masonry arch bridge, adjacent to the carriageway, was demolished as part of the works to allow for the wider new structure. The stone from the old bridge was also used to construct a new bat habitat for the bats displaced from the demolition.

Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “We are pleased to fully open the newly built Criche Bridge, which marks the sixth A830 structure to be completed in our bridge replacement programme.

“As with the previous bridges, we’ve made sure to limit any impact to motorists as much as possible by constructing a temporary bridge to ensure access on the A830 was maintained at all times.

“We hope the local community will be pleased with the new bridge at Criche, and we thank them for their patience over the last ten months.”

Design is underway for the next bridge in the programme following the completion of Criche, with construction programmed to begin at Shlatach Rail Bridge in Glenfinnan towards the end of 2018.
