Cromarty Bridge

Cromarty Bridge is a concrete bridge crossing the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands. It consists of multiple segments supported by supports in the water and provides a direct route over the body of water.

The bridge was built in the late 1970s and marks an infrastructure project of that era. It connected regions that previously required longer routes and shaped the development of the northern Highlands.

The bridge links two coastal regions and lets travelers see the water below while crossing. It serves as a main route connecting communities and remains central to how people move through the northern Highlands.

The bridge is part of a main road and can be windy during bad weather. Those crossing it should expect that views of the water vary depending on weather conditions.

Its construction was a major engineering undertaking of its time and required specialized building methods to install segments over the water. Many visitors do not notice how the individual sections fit together as they cross the bridge.
