Kylesku Bridge, Curved concrete bridge in Highland, Scotland
The 275-meter bridge spans across Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin with a box girder design and eight supporting legs shaped in V-formation.
Queen Elizabeth II inaugurated the bridge in August 1984, marking the end of the ferry service between Kylesku and Kylestrome settlements.
The structure received its official Gaelic name Drochaid a' Chaolais Chumhaing in 2019 when it earned Category A listed building status.
The bridge carries the A894 road with a footway and maintains a clearance of 24 meters above water for maritime navigation.
Engineering firm Ove Arup designed the structure to withstand winds exceeding 100 miles per hour through its specialized inclined piers.
