Kessock Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Inverness, Scotland
The Kessock Bridge extends 1,056 meters across the Beauly Firth, connecting Inverness city with the Black Isle through three main support towers.
The Queen Mother inaugurated the Kessock Bridge in August 1982, replacing a centuries-old ferry service between North and South Kessock.
The bridge received recognition from the Saltire Society in 1983 for its engineering excellence and contribution to Scottish infrastructure.
Transport Scotland reports approximately 30,000 vehicles cross the bridge daily, making it a vital link for Highland region transportation.
The structure incorporates seismic buffers at its north abutment to protect against movement from the Great Glen Fault beneath.
