Work is underway to replace the B9090 White Bridge in the Highlands with a new crossing.

Dingwall based contractors R J McLeod will be on site to start the realignment work along the route between Clephanton and Cawdor. The work will include building a new bridge upstream of the existing masonry arch bridge which currently has an 18T weight limit.

White Bridge is one the oldest bridges maintained by the Council and is a 'Category A' Listed structure. It has a humped vertical alignment and carries single file traffic in both directions, subject to traffic control signals.

The £2.65 million project will create a new section of road leading to a new crossing. The existing route will remain open to drivers during the works. Any vehicles exceeding the 18T weight limit should use the diversion route via the A96, A939 and B9101 roads.

The works are expected to be completed by Autumn 2019.
