Morgan Sindall has been appointed as contractor to replace the Ruthven Railway Bridge at Kingussie.

The deterioration of the bridge has restricted its load carrying capacity to less than three tonnes.

The Highland Council has agreed to provide immediate funding for the work, along with the Scottish Timber Transport Scheme (STTS) and the Forestry Commission Scotland (Scottish Government), which has already provided £250,000.

For build work to take place, a period of full road closure will be necessary.
