Friarton Bridge, Road bridge in Perth, Scotland.
The Friarton Bridge spans the River Tay with twin steel box girders and a concrete deck, extending 831 meters across the waterway southeast of Perth.
Freeman Fox & Partners designed this structure in 1978, making it the longest span steel girder bridge in the United Kingdom at that time.
The bridge connects the communities of Perth and Kinross, forming an essential part of Scotland's transportation network between Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
The structure carries four lanes of traffic without hard shoulders, functioning as the northeastern terminus of the M90 motorway near Perth.
The bridge maintains a navigation channel width of 76 meters with sufficient clearance for water vessels traveling along the River Tay.
